Online Sessions Starting Aug. 6 3:30 – 4:30 pm CST
Children’s Hospital & Medical Center is excited to host the COVID Response for School Health Learning Collaborative for our Nebraska school partners in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.
This is an opportunity for school nurses to learn and interact with Children’s experts as schools face known and unknown challenges related to COVID-19 during the 2020/2021 school year.
A variety of topics will be addressed during this learning collaborative through bi-directional learning sessions, as well as, training and resources to assist school nurses with the management of COVID-19 as it relates to the health and well-being of school staff and students. Although designed for the school nurse, other school staff and administrators are welcome to participate as a school health team. We hope you join us and come prepared with questions for our experts.
