Anatomy Models & Indoor Thermometer

DonorsChoose Project #4

Hopefully Helpful School Nurse Tip: I use DonorsChoose projects to receive funds to purchase needed items for my office. It is easy to use and I hope you can use it too!


To date, I've received over $3,000 in funding to purchase items for my school nurse office!

DonorsChoose is available to most public school teachers / nurses / social workers etc. This platform is simple and user friendly. 99.9% of the time, I select Amazon as my store to shop from because that is what I am most familiar with, but there are many other options too. I learned about the funding source DonorsChoose from a participant of The School Nurse Facebook groups (public school nurse Fb groupprivate school nurse Fb group). If we can do it, then you can too!

  • DonorsChoose is very user friendly! They provide you with step-by-step directions. 
  • DonorsChoose collects all donated money. They purchase the items you've selected.
  • DonorsChoose has the items shipped directly to your public school!

Project 4

I prefer proposing smaller projects; those with just a handful of items. This keeps the cost down and I find I am more likely to have fully funded projects with this technique. I advertise my projects on my personal Facebook page and ask friends and families to share with others. I have received donations from friends, families, businesses, and even strangers who are looking to support public schools! For this "Anatomy & Temp" project I needed about $150 in donations and I received the following items:

Vital Signs

Hopefully Helpful School Nurse Tip: I really wanted to update my vital sign assessment tools and wondered if I would be successful with a DonorsChoose project. I was & I hope you can too!

Vital Signs- New Assessment Tools

Taking vital signs is a basic nursing skill all of us learned in nursing school. This data is helpful during the information gathering phase of your assessment. Having up-to-date and working assessment tools can make your job as a school nurse much easier. This project needed under $200 in donations to be fully funded and it happened quickly! Here is a list of new tools I received for FREE with this fully funded DonorsChoose project:

Hopefully Helpful School Nurse Tip: One of the most common questions asked is "How do I get the funds to purchase school nurse office supplies?". Many times, my answer is DonorsChoose and maybe (I hope) it can be your answer too?

During the middle of the COVID19 pandemic I learned about the funding source DonorsChoose from a participant of The School Nurse Facebook groups (public school nurse Fb groupprivate school nurse Fb group). I was hopeful that if she was able to receive funds for some supplies then maybe I would be too.

Guess what? I was able to and I hope you are too! The DonorsChoose projects are typically available for public school employees (you may want to check with your school district).  The process is very simple and user friendly. Remember, if her and I can do it, then you can too!

Health & Safety DonorsChoose Project

For my very first DonorsChoose project I feel like I kept things simple and basic with just over $300 in supplies. I asked for a few things I really needed at the time to help promote health and safety during the pandemic. Thankfully, this project was fully funded quickly and I received (for FREE!) all of the products listed below:
