Health Services
Research has shown that students with an optimal level of wellness are more receptive to the learning process. Therefore, North St. Paul-Maplewood-Oakdale health services staff strive to create an environment that promotes and supports student achievement, health, and well-being.
The primary goals of health services are to minimize or eliminate health-related barriers to learning and assist students to be self-sufficient in managing their health care within age-appropriate expectations. To accomplish this, health services staff, as part of the school team, strive to:
- Promote student wellness
- Provide skilled nursing services
- Encourage healthy behaviors and self-care
- Assess and communicate student health concerns through referral to parents/guardians
The model of health services in ISD 622 uses a combination of Licensed School Nurses (LSN), Public Health Nurses (PHN), Registered Nurses (RN), and Licensed Practical Nurses (LPN).
- Health Services Supervisors are the LSN's who oversee the health services department. They are responsible for creating and reviewing health-related policies and procedures, quality assurance, staffing, and responding to crises.
- PHN's are responsible for coordinating and managing the health needs of individual students during the school day as well as promoting health and safety for all students. They are also a part of the special education team and ensure appropriate accommodations for students with significant medical conditions.
- RN's provide direct care in the health office for ill and injured students, support in coordinating and managing individual health needs, and promote health and safety for all students.
- LPN's provide direct care in the health office for ill and injured students and carry out delegated nursing activities performed under RN supervision.
