We believe that continuing education for our school nurses is a vital part of keeping current in their careers and enables them to continue to manage their students with diabetes with confidence and with the most up-to-date foundation of knowledge!
We will be offering a series of courses throughout the year that we believe will help meet these goals. Each class will be $20 per person, will be approximately 60-75 minutes long, and will provide the participant 1 contact hour of nursing education.
The emphasis in the Spring 2023 semester is on mental and behavioral health.
The first course of our series covered the topic of Medical Neglect taught by Ellen Fay-Itzkowitz (LCSW, CDCES). (Please click here for Ellen’s Bio) She covered the many complications of untreated T1D, acute and long term, how to collaborate with the family and Barbara Davis Center, when to consider report to DHS for medical neglect, and some of the best ways to get the case assigned for investigation.
