Welcome to the 2019/2020 school year! I look forward to helping your student have a successful and healthy school year.

Role of the School NurseSchool nursing is a professional registered nursing specialty that involves identification, assessment, prevention, and intervention to remedy or modify student's health needs. The nurse's goal is to promote the optimun health of students and promote the students' abilities to achieve their individual educational goals.

Nurses monitor immunizations, perform mandated health screenings, track communicable diseases, plan for emergencies and provide direct care to students. Please use the links to the left to learn more about the Hays CISD Health Services.

I would like to assure you that medical information about your child is treated as confidential. School nurses do not share information about your child with outside parties, nor can we discuss health concerns of any other student with you.

Emergency Health InformationParents/guardians are required to complete and sign an Emergency Health Card each school year. This provides us with parent and alternate contact information and basic medical information in the event of a medical emergency at school or at a school related activity. Parents/guardians are urged to include information about pre-existing medical conditions, allergies, medications, etc. on this form. The Emergency Health Card is updated annually before the school year begins. Any changes in health for a student should be shared with the school nurse as quickly as possible to help us keep your child safe at school.

If your child is seriously ill or injured, we must have a way of contacting you. It is critical that you report chamges in phone numbers to the school.

Emergency MedicationsAll campuses have an emergency supply of epinephrine and diphenhydramine HCL (Benadryl) that school nurses may administer in the event of an unexpected anaphylactic (severe allergic) reaction. Parents of students with known anaphylaxis are expected to provide an individual supply of emergency medication and an emergency action plan to the campus nurse.

Phone calls from the nurseI follow the School Nurse Resource Manual guidelines for care. Please do not expect a phone call from me for every student visit to the clinic. Rest assured, however, that I will call you when the guidelines direct me to do so.

Personal InformationI have been a nurse for 21 years with experience in Neonatal Intensive Care, ambulatory surgery and school nursing. I worked at M.S. Ryan Elementary in Laredo for 10 years and have been at Uhland Elementary since January 2019. My husband and I live in Buda, we have 2 married children and a beautiful grandson. I love to spend my free time traveling, reading and enjoying my family.

I love working with kids and families. Keeping kids safe and healthy at school is my top priority. I look forward to working with you!

Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions or if you have any concerns about your child's health.

Bienvenidos al 2019/2020 año escolar! Estoy en la mayor disposición para ayudar a su estudiante a tener un año escolar saludable.

Responsibilidades de la enfermera escolarLa enfermeria escolar es una especialidad de enfermeria registrada profesional que implica identificación, evaluación, prevencion e intervencion para remediar o modificar las necesidades de salud de los estudiantes. El objetivo de las enfermeras es promover la salud óptima de los estudiantes y promover las habilidades de los estudiantes para lograr sus objetivos educativos individuales.

Las enfermeras se aseguran que las vacunas requeridas por el estado de Texas estén al dia, realizan exámenes de salud obligatorios, vigilan enfermedades contagiosas, preparan plan  de emergencia y brindan atención directa a los estudiantes.

Puedo asegurarle que la información medica sobre su hijo se mantiene confidencial y las enfermeras escolares no comparten información con terceros ni podemos hablar sobre los problemas de salud de ningún otro estudiante con usted.

Información de Salud de EmergenciaSe requiere que los padres/tutores completen y firmen un formulario o Tarjeta de Salud de emergencia cada año escolar. Esta nos proporciona información de contacto de padres y designados, e información de salud basica  en caso de emergencia en la escuela o actividades relaccionadas con la escuela.Le urgimos a los padres/tutores a incluir información sobre afecciones medicas, alergias y medicamentos pre-existentes. Cualquier cambio en la salud del estudiante debe compartirse con la enfermera de escuela lo mas pronto posible para ayudarnos a mantener a su hijo saludable en la escuela.

Si su hijo/hija se enferma o se lastima seriamente en la escuela, es necesario tener contacto con usted. Si usted cambia de numero telefonico, es critico que notifique a la escuela.

Medicamentos de EmergenciaTodas las escuelas tienen un suministro de emergencia de epinefrina y difenhidramina HCL (Benadryl) que las enfermeras pueden administrar en caso de una reacción anafilactica (alergia grave), inesperada y no diagnosticada. Se espera que los padres de niños con anafilaxia diagnosticada proporcionen el medicamento de emergencia y un plan medico de emergencia a la enfermera escolar.

Llamadas se la enfermeraSiguo la guia "The School Nurse Resource Manual" para la atención de salud de los estudiantes. Por favor no espere una llamada de mi parte cada vez que su hijo/hija visite la clinica. Pero esté tranquilo que le llamaré cuando el manual me dirija a hacerlo.
