The See You Now Podcast is created in collaboration with Johnson & Johnson and the American Nursing Association. It is hosted by Shawna Butler, a nurse economist, and health technology specialist. I am honored to be a guest on See You Now to discuss COVID-19 and what school re-entry may entail. Thank you, Shawna, and your expert producer, Rebecca McInroy, for amplifying the voice of nursing through your work.
Across the world, students of all ages along with educators and families are part of an unanticipated global homeschooling abruptly introduced by COVID19. While necessary to ensure public safety during a pandemic, closing schools is a difficult and complex decision that has far-reaching implications for students’ health, their learning, and their safety. No one is more attuned to those needs than school nurses who, on any given school day, are helping medically fragile and special needs students, and students struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, food, housing, and economic insecurity. In this episode, we virtually visit Camden, NJ, to meet veteran school nurse, Robin Cogan MEd, RN, NCSN and learn why school nurses should be at the center of re-entry decision making and how school nurses are supporting students and families while uncertainty looms.
