Nurse's Office
School Nurse: Katharine Fodnaess, k.fodnaess@georgestevens.org
2023-24 Prescreening Tool for School Attendance
The goal of the GSA Nurse’s Office is to keep students healthy and safe by addressing their mental, physical, emotional, social, and health needs in order to support optimal learning.
Our school nurse accomplishes this by educating our students; promoting good health and disease prevention; organizing flu shot clinics; monitoring immunizations; administering medication; testing vision; providing first aid; training staff; updating medical charts; coordinating care; promoting infectious disease control; promoting health equity by assisting families with outside resources/services; leading the development of health policies; advocating for students; and promoting self-management of disease and optimal health.
