In-Service Training Program
The Health Department participated in this program for elementary teachers in orienting them to the health services available in Norwood, the function of the school health program, and the role of the teacher and the nurse in this program. The health of the teacher was also considered. Sources of health education materials and exhibits of available materials were pro- vided. In addition the consultant services of Mrs. Frances Pitts, Health Education Director for the Norfolk County Tuberculosis and Health Associa- tion, were made available to help the teachers in organizing and implement- ing their health and safety education program.
Professional Improvement
To meet the current standards and qualifications for practising school nurses as recommended by the State Departments of Health and Education and of the Public Health Section of the American Nurses Association Miss McDonough and Miss Canning completed studies at Boston University for a Bachelor of Science degree in June 1956. In addition, Miss Canning received her Masters degree in Education from the same university in August 1956.
Records
There is a tendency to minimize the importance of the time required and spent in keeping accurate records. The nursing service receives no clerical assistance so if records are to be kept the nurse must keep them. The nota- tions to be made on the cummulative health records alone mount up to numbers that would outdo even Amos and Andy figures when one considers all new cards must be started when a child enters school and are continued through the years to graduation. In addition to the initial entries of family history and pre-school development are noted all physical findings of the doctor and dentist. the corrections of defects, heights, weights, eye and ear tests, illnesses, accidents, operations, innoculations, health problems, home visits, and such other data as may be helpful to the teacher or nurse working with that particular child. A child leaving the system takes his card with him
.
311
REPORT OF SCHOOL COMMITTEE
and it is expected that the child entering from another system will have one. This is not true. The turnover is rapid these days and it is not at all unusual to have to start hundreds of new cards for these new students in one year. In addition there are many reports and records to be kept during the year which show little for the time taken but which are important when working with others to help the child.
Suggestions For Improving Health Services
The Health Department is feeling the pressures of an increased enroll- ment not only from the angle of the work itself but as a result of the lack of adequate facilities which interfere with the best use of professional services in carrying out even simple routine techniques. If, as, and when future schools are built it would be well to consider the need for providing health rooms where all work can be done to avoid our present situation where it cannot. Such planning would assure effective use of the nurses' and doctors time, provide better service, and facilitate the entire program in contrast to our present "make the best of a bad bargain situation." The more crowded the schools become the more difficult it is for us to find places where we may do our work.
In general the health facilities do not measure up to the standards that the educators set for these services. Privacy and quiet are non-existant for physical examinations unless children awaiting their turn remain in the corridors.
In particular may I point out the inadequancies of the existing facilities. The nurses' room of the Callahan School, originally was located on the first floor opposite the principal's office, was moved to the second floor to make way for the school library. Access to this room is by a narrow wooden stair- case so routine work such as weighing, physical examinations, immunizations, etc., must be done in the assembly hall to avoid hazardous congestion on the stairs. A sick child might easily be overlooked in the absence of the nurse from the school. Since 1950 requests have been made to have this room repainted to make it as clean and cheerful as a health room should be.
No longer does the nurse have a room in the Winslow School where she may de her testing. She, with the special service teachers, must share the teachers' room and in so doing deprive the teachers of its use. Weighing must be done in the corridor, eye testing and immunization clinics in the downstairs playroom, and physical exams squeezed in as best she can.
At the Shattuck School the nurse shares the use of the teachers room and does her testing and routines in other sections of the school.
The Junior High School nurses room is a poor example of health room. It is such a distance from the main office on the first floor that many times when a nurse is not scheduled for the school a sick child is left without attention because no one is aware she is in the room. Such lighting as is available is from a dusty skylight and old time hanging lamps. New type lights were never installed as in the rest of the building. Ventilation is poor. During the winter months the room is seldom warm enough and usually there is such a draft from the fan room that fur boots are in order. An unsuc- cessful attempt has been made to shut off this draft by using masking tape and a curtain over the fan room door.
312
TOWN OF NORWOOD
The nurses room at the Senior High School is still without the benefit of hot water despite the many requests made for it since 1950. Here too, the room is inadequate for the testing program. An area where the physical exams can be done without noise that masks heart and lung sounds is in order. Nor can private counseling be given without asking the students who are waiting to go to the library or wait in the corridor.
New Equipment
It is imperative that new files be provided for the increasing number of health records to be filed. Children with Lincoln Health Records are ade- quately cared for but we must make provision for those in grades 4-12 having Massachusetts Health Cards. Polio immunization cards and consent letters need proper filing accommodations.
With the increasing use of the Audiometer for individual hearing tests a second machine is indicated. If in no other way, this machine might be provided as new equipment for a new building. Our present earphones for group testing have been in constant use since 1929 and will need to be replaced in the not too distant future.
Registration for childen entering grade K and 1 takes place each spring. It is suggested that each school have a separate registration day so that all the nurses may be in attendance to talk with the parents about health problems the child might have, to explain the importance of the child having all physical defects corrected before entering school, the need for immuniz- ing them against diphtheria, tetanus, whooping cough, smallpox, and polio before this time, and to encourage the mother to have the child seen by the family doctor to find any remedial defects and to have them corrected.
Conclusion
We of the Health Department thank all in the schools and the com- munity who have given us their interest, cooperation, support, and encourage- ment in our work and our program.
