Good Shepherd School Nurse - Renie Asken, RN

It has been said that school nursing is like a patchwork quilt- made of different backgrounds, materials, and experiences which, when put together, not only brings comfort, but also becomes a beautiful work of art (Alexander).

I am excited to begin the school year and to interact with the students as they grow and learn. I am also deeply appreciative of the opportunity to serve as school nurse for Good Shepherd School. My goal for your children is to do all that I possibly can to keep them healthy and safe and to provide preventive health measures in the school as needed. In addition, you may count on the following for your child:

• Provision of basic first aid
• Evaluation of students for illnesses
• Administration of prescription and over-the-counter medications with parental written approval and physician written authorization
• Partnering with parents and teachers to insure that the health needs of the students are met
• Implementation of Camp Hill School District's and the state of Pennsylvania Department of Health's Immunization Policy
• Maintenance of comprehensive student health records
• Conduction of vision and hearing screening
• Provision of health and wellness information to the school community

Because I know that every day a young life will touch mine, encouragement and kindness are among the two best gifts I can give in return.

I welcome any questions or concerns you may have about your child's health and well-being.
