| | Sponsor Organization: | Barbara Stagg, RN, School Nurse, Jackson County Schools, WV | | Title: | Blood pressure screenings and information distribution | | Abstract: | As a school nurse in a rural county, I am aware of health education needs not only for students, but for teachers as well. Many of our teachers have hypertension and are on medication, but others probably have it and don't know it. I was provided free brochures from the stroke association and fact sheets, which I copied and put in all the staffs' mailboxes. I also write a weekly "nurse's note" and included some information in it, and urged them to stop in and let me check their blood pressure. | | |
