Monthly Newsletter – Allergy Season
You cannot be an effective school nurse unless you communicate well. You must establish yourself as a knowledgeable, professional staff member with a sincere commitment to your school community.
To complete this assignment, write a Nursing Newsletter for the month of April.
TOPIC is Seasonal Allergies and tips to help prevent a seasonal allergy attack in the school setting.
Discuss the following important highlights in the newsletter about how to control seasonal allergies in the school setting during the Springs months.
Remind children with allergies to take their allergy medications before they come to school. Note that students are not allowed to bring eye drops or over-the-counter allergy medication to school without a medical order from their pediatrician.
Tell kids to tell their parents to wash their clothes regularly and dry laundry in the dryer. Since pollen can coat clothing, avoid hanging laundry outside to dry.
Keep windows closed and use air conditioning to filter the air.
Tell kids to shower and shampoo their hair at night to wash off any pollen on their bodies.
Newsletter should be no more than two pages, visually appealing and directed at the needs of the school community.
