The new school nurse is Mrs. Ashley Stanley. The role of a school nurse is important to a school because she helps every kid with whatever health issue they are having that is keeping them from focusing on school. If a student has a headache or stomach cramps, they can go to her and get medicine or whatever is needed.
Mrs. Stanley is an amazing person because she works and has four children. She attended school at Mountain Empire Community College to get her R.N. nursing degree.
Before she became a school nurse, she had a part time job at the elementary school. She said, "What made me want to become a nurse is the love and passion I have for kids."
Mrs. Stanley has seen a lot of crazy things, but the craziest thing she has seen is "a kid on the playground who fell on his two front teeth at the elementary school" and knocked them both out. They were able to save his teeth and put them back in.
Some of her role models are her mom, dad, and her grandparents.What made Nurse Stanley want to become a nurse is her love for kids. Also, her mom was a nurse. Mrs. Stanley said" I loved how my mom came home and was happy with the amount of people she got to help."
Mrs. Stanley is not a very stressful person and keeps her calm no matter what. The interesting thing about her is that she's so experienced she can pick out if someone is really is sick or just using an excuse to get out of class.
Mrs Stanley contributes to this school so much. We just want to thank her for her services.
