Certified School Nurses (CSN) are responsible for the state mandated health services in the Tredyffrin/ Easttown schools. They are registered nurses with baccalaureate degrees and additional educational requirements. They are certified by the Department of Education and have extensive background in school health, health education, counseling, and the use of community resources. The nurses are a part of the Office of Pupil Services which also include guidance counselors, social workers, the dental hygienist and school psychologists. In addition to state mandated responsibilities, the school nurse is actively involved in Child Study Teams, Student Assistant Teams, crisis intervention, and assisting students to recognize and address a variety of health problems. Certified School Nurses (CSN, RN) may be assigned to more than one school. Health Room Nurses (RN) assist the certified school nurse and cover the building when the certified nurse is at another building. |
