Note from the School Nurse:
Beginning Friday, March 28th, 2025 Southern Aroostook Community School/School Health Services Department will be hosting a nursing student from NMCC's Nursing and Allied Health Department. This community placement will provide school-based clinical experience as the nursing student learns about the roles and responsibilities of the school nurse, as well as how the nursing process is put into practice in
the holistic care of children at different age levels. The nursing student will practice under the direct supervision of the School Nurse (Kathy Chamberland,
R.N., B.S.N) and will be allowed to observe and participate in the many aspects of school nursing such as preventive care, emergent care, assessment, documentation, medication administration, on-site special programming, and so on. The student nurse will be in our school a few days between March and April and will be working directly with the School Nurse during that time. This nursing student is a senior-level student who has had many hours of clinical training and experience and is bound by the HIPPA Act and must comply with all laws of patient confidentiality.
