School nurses who work part-time within the district (hours and days of service vary). Although each of the nurses is based at a particular school, all of the nurses share coverage for all of the schools and may be contacted by telephone or beeper.
Nurses develop and implement a plan of care and work collaboratively with the patient, the patient's family, and other health care professionals and para-professionals. Nurses help coordinate the patient care performed by other members of a health care team such as physical therapists, medical practitioners, social workers, and dietitians. Nurses frequently act as patient advocates.
