Felicia Scott, the school nurse at Eva Gordon
Elementary, takes care of the everyday emergencies. The
nurse administers OTC (over the counter) medication under doctor's
orders and prescription medicines with parental permission and doctor's
signature and instructions. The nurse follows up on all school
immunizations to make sure all students are up-to-date. Ms. Scott
is a member of the Southwest MS Asthma Coalition, a statewide
organization which operates under the MS Lung Association, to promote
asthma education and treatment. Ms. Scott is also a member of the
National Association of School Nurses and the MS Association of School
Nurses. Eva Gordon received the Early Periodic Screening Diagnosis and Treatment Grant. This grant allows the nurse to work with parents and students more closely. The screenings performed through the EPSDT Grant are paid for by Medicaid. Additionally, this grant provided Eva Gordon with the means to develop a complete nurse's station that became completely operational in January 2004.
