School Nursing in Modern Education - Removing Barriers to Learning

Meet District Nurse Supervisor Stephanie Cahlamer. She's a pediatric critical care nurse, Pediatric SANE Forensic nurse, and Project Adam Advocate with experience as a flight nurse, an EMT and a Firefighter. She's also the head of a team that is more integrated in learning than ever. Modern school nursing programs are more than Band-Aids, ice packs, and hugs. Cahlamer's team manages health plans, administers medication, trains teachers and staff in emergency aid, and has a very big role in making sure medical needs do not stand in the way of the right to a free, appropriate public education.
