A Certified School Nurse from the Central Bucks School District is assigned to Our Lady of Mt Carmel School; the number of days per week may vary. The school nurse maintains student health records, performs state-required health screenings, administers doctor-prescribed medications, performs nursing procedures, responds to school illnesses and accidents, assists physicians and dentists with school examinations, provides health counseling and referrals, conducts health-related classroom instruction and serves as parent and classroom consultant in health-related matters.
When the certified school nurse is out of the building, the health room is staffed by a nurse employed by OLMC School who is familiar with first aid and emergency procedures and coordinates care with the Certified School Nurse.
