Dates for 2008 Regional School Nurse Conferences
REGISTRATION FORM
Dear School Nurses,
Please find attached the registration form for this
year’s ODH/ASHA Regional School Nurse Conferences. Registration forms
will be mailed to schools in the next few weeks, but I know many of you
are anxious to get paperwork submitted to your districts sooner than
that. The registration form will soon be posted to the ASHA website at
www.ashaweb.org.
Click on the “Conference” tab.
We’re excited about the agenda for both the evening
and full day sessions. As part of the ODH Update, we will be discussing
delegation and the Decision Making Models developed by the Ohio Board of
Nursing as well as the Ohio School Medicaid Program.
We have selected the three Practice Pearls for this
year (a different one will be presented at each conference site). In
Mason, Betsy Taylor, RN will describe using a Boardmaker in the school
health office. In Newark, Jill Binford, RN, BSN will describe the
experience of her school district as they moved away from a no-nit
policy. In Huron, Jackie Tramontana, RN, M.Ed. will describe the
development and implementation of a “Fitness Fun Day.”
We’ll look forward to seeing you at one of the
Regional Conferences this spring
