Organize Your School Nurse Office

My preference is to organize the nurse's office into specific stations. I also allow myself to be flexible enough to make changes as needed depending on the needs of my students each school year.

Think about the space you have and try to make the most of it. Are you interested in trying health stations in your space. Some potential stations include: a treatment area, a diabetes area, a medication area, a desk/paperwork area. See how easy it is to get going with the possibilities? Organizing like items within designated nurse office areas will help define the spaces for you, or students and staff too.
