Foundations of Nursing: Mrs. Saling

Click HERE to view the Course Syllabus.

Good evening parents and students. My name is Mrs. Saling. I am the new teacher for the Foundation of Nursing class. I previously worked at Windsor The Ridge, which is a nursing home and rehab care facility in Salinas. I have been a certified nursing assistant for seventeen years now. I am enjoying teaching your children all of the different skills about nursing. Nursing is such a rewarding job. I know it has been a difficult and challenging year for everyone. My goal is to make the rest of the year full of learning and fun at the same time. If you should have any questions or concerns about anything please email me. My email address is megan.saling@salinasuhsd.org
