Idea #1 – How does school nursing support impact the child’s school experience?
Children who require these supports often struggle to acquire staffing, wait-lists and high turnover. They are required to miss school when these supports are not in place for them leading to lower levels of attendance, more caregiver burden for parents, etc.
However it would be naive to assume that with staffing in place there is no impact on the experience as my little friend and I are asked questions all the time about why her care occurs (confidentiality/privacy issues), reality of differences between students who require traditional schooling vs those needing support and the interruptions to her day to support her feeding schedule also play a role.
P: students requiring nursing support at school
I: nursing visits
C: non-supported classmates/peers
O: – struggling to make it quantifiable, could track attendance but only measures one factor…
Idea #2 – How do nurses working in home and community care access mentors and professional support?
P: Home & Community Care (HCC) Nurses
I: Team-building/mentor opportunities
C: Unsupported HCC nurses
O: Increased confidence in skills, staff engagement, increased retention and job satisfaction
Idea 1 or 2? Thanks for helping me narrow it down team!
