Hopefully Helpful School Nurse Tip: Health emergencies in the school setting will happen. Run through scenarios in your mind and come up with your potential responses ahead of time.

Before each school year it is good practice to check the expiration dates of the emergency medications kept at your school and order new as needed. Also, think about the type of emergency bag you have? Is is it easy to use, are all of your supplies easily accessible? Replenish expired items as needed.
