Course overview

Children and adults may face emergency medical situations because of injuries, complications of chronic health conditions, or unexpected significant illnesses that occur in schools. There has been an increase in children with special health care needs and chronic medical conditions attending schools, which has contributed to the rise in medical emergencies nurses face in schools. School nurses must be prepared to deal with daily medical, behavioral, and traumatic emergencies that students and staff face. It is estimated that 10-25% of childhood injuries occur while at school. This learning module will address the most common medical emergencies a school nurse may encounter and their role in them.
