Health Office Information

 

A school RN is a professional Registered Nurse who holds a minimum of a Bachelor’s Degree in Nursing. They are responsible for the overall school health program, including coordinating the activities of the health office. Each health office has a full-time School Health Assistant (SHA), who is required to have a high school diploma/GED, certification in CPR/AED, and basic first aid. SHAs assist students with health needs and medication administration during school hours. School administration, the school RN, and SHAs work together to maintain student health and safety while at school.

 

All Clark County School District (CCSD) schools are equipped with life-saving tools for specific emergencies. These tools are provided to schools to help students and staff feel safe. These include:

  • Automated External Defibrillators (AED)
  • Epinephrine (Epi-Pens)
  • Naloxone nasal spray (NARCAN)
  • Stop the Bleed Kits

After determining the need to use any of these tools, emergency medical personnel must be contacted for continued care of the impacted person while staff are addressing the emergency.
