While kids are at school their health & wellbeing is watched over by a handful of diligent nurses who juggle a multitude of roles to fulfill the needs of public health, mental health, addiction counseling, emergency medicine, career counseling, & preventive medicine. Tessa, one of three school nurses for a district of 3,500 student ages 5- 21, shares what just a tiny part of what her job is like to helps kids stay healthy as they grow up in American public schools.
