EducationWorkload Management4HighSchool Nurse$ implied
A school nurse is overwhelmed by being the default responder for a wide range of student crises (physical injuries, mental health, hunger, fatigue) without adequate support or resources, leading to long lines and inadequate triage.
Existing school health services are understaffed and lack a systematic way to triage and address the diverse needs of students, causing the nurse to manage everything from minor injuries to serious emotional and physical issues with limited resources.
