“Being a nurse is a hard, but very rewarding job.”
This week we interviewed Nurse Stephanie Ridgeway, one of our school nurses to see what she has to say about her job. Her daily routine starts by coming in, in the morning and providing morning meds for students, then she starts seeing sick and injured kids, followed by lunchtime meds at 11:00, making sure immunizations are up to date, make sure AED are functioning properly, while keeping constant communication with registrar regarding student absences. She said “It is a very rewarding job, I get to take care of sick and injured students, and they come to me for advice.” Her favorite part about her job is getting to build strong relationships with the students and helping them out a bit in their daily lives.
