School Nurse

 A few things about me: I graduated from Brookesmith ISD in 2014. After high school, I attended Tarleton State University, where I graduated with a Bachelor's degree in Science and Nursing. I started my nursing career at Brownwood Regional Medical Center (now Hendrick Medical Center Brownwood), on the Medical/Telemetry floor and then in the Post Anesthesia Care Unit. 

Your child’s safety is my top priority! With that in mind, below are health guidelines for our school: 

Students with the following signs and symptoms are to be excluded from school attendance until they are symptom free and/or fever free without medication for 24 hours prior to returning to school. 

1. Fever with oral equivalent of 100.4 or greater 
2. Vomiting 
3. Diarrhea 
4. Strep throat for 24 hours after the first dose of medication
5. Flu, until symptoms improve and fever free for 24 hours without medication or according to a physician’s note 
6. A persistent productive cough and wheeze with thick constant nasal discharge 
7. Persistent productive cough that produces bloody sputum 
8. Skin rashes that are associated with fever or any drainage 
9. Pinkeye- yellow discharge, eyes matted together after sleep, eye pain, and redness 
10. Any open draining lesion 

Thank you for letting me take care of your kids! I love being a part of the Brookesmith ISD family!
