Northland Christian School is a small private school on the north side of Houston, but it's helping students in a big way, including adding a nurse who will come up with action plans to help students who suffer from conditions such as asthma attacks or seizures.
Northland Christian School, located near FM 1960 and Veterans Memorial, serves students from pre-school to 12th grade, and now has a nurse, who will play a critical role in addressing students' medical needs.A small private school on the north side of Houston has introduced at least two new programs this year that will serve students who need medical attention during the day, as well as those with learning differences.
While school nurses may seem like a standard employee, the 13 Investigates team found that dozens of school campuses in our area are without one.In her role, Nelson will administer medication to students, including those with chronic conditions, and come up with action plans for those who suffer from medical conditions, such as asthma attacks or seizures. She will also conduct trainings with teachers on how to handle those episodes.
"I couldn't start a conversation with a student that was depressed," Nelson said. "I couldn't pray for them. I couldn't talk to them in a spiritual sense and that would really break my heart because it was something that I could have given them but I couldn't, especially children in public school that are severely depressed and or cutting or doing things like that. It gives me another tool in my toolbox to help them.
Megan Stockton is the director of the Cougar Center for Success. She is also an educational therapist."I do think it is pretty discouraging for students, especially when they know that they can succeed, but they're not given the resources to succeed," Stockton explained.One technique she learned through her training with the National Institute for Learning Development is teaching dyslexic student "anchor" words.
