Sheila Freed – “Being the Medical Island in the Sea of Educators”
Sheila Freed SDSNA Past President presented on “Being a Medical Island in a Sea of Education.” She gave ideas to market and support School Nursing in our SD schools even during the toughest of economic times. Ideas were shared on how to market to administrators, board members, and community members to note the importance of our school nurse profession and of our presence in the School Community. She stressed that “A child needs YOU to be part of the Crew” by being a team player, showing initiative, going to staff meetings, go the extra mile, and ask for what you need. Sheila stressed that having a year end report was also a very important part of being a leader, keeping track of everything you do during the year and have that report with you when you visit with thoses people in your district that are influential in making changes in your school district.
