School Nurses By Jennifer Kenny

---

¹     School nurses provide health care in a unique way. You may see nurses in hospitals, doctors' offices, and clinics, but school nurses work in a very special setting!
 
²     Mrs. O'Hara is a school nurse. She works at an elementary school with seven hundred children. She has done this job for thirty years. Things have certainly changed in her office.
 
³     Years ago Mrs. O'Hara checked children's eyes and ears to make sure they could see and hear clearly. She put lots of Band-Aids on scraped knees. She took care of students with stomachaches and fevers. Today, though, her job is a lot more complicated. Why? Things have changed in general for families. Things have also changed with the kinds of medical needs of students.
