With spring weather comes seasonal allergies! The National Association of School Nurses offers numerous allergy related resources to assist school nurses as they support students dealing with allergies. The NASN Connection Cards are one of the tools for the school nurse to use to initiate meaningful conversations with students and parents/caregivers about topics related to anaphylaxis and epinephrine adminitration. The cards contain categories with conversation starters, questions, action items, and topics for personal reflection. There is also the companion handbook, Saving Lives at School: Anaphylaxis and Epinephrine, a guide with evidence-based information and resources that correspond with the Connection Cards to facilitate their use in school nursing practice. Wishing you good health during this allergy season! Beth Mattey, MSN, RN, NCSN NASN President @bethmattey BETTER HEALTH. BETTER LEARNING.™ |
