Every child has access to a full time registered professional school nurse. Our nurses provide clinical services ranging from coordinating all student electronic medical records (EMR), to managing complex medical conditions, to tending to the proper care for a skinned knee. Our providers serve in a pivotal role that bridges health care and education grounded by standards of practice.
Our providers are located in the Jones Health Center, which was given in memory of Mr. Seby Jones, and dedicated in March 2001. The center, often referred to as "the cottage," is centrally located on campus across the quad from the Fine Arts Center. The building has an office, waiting room, treatment rooms and rooms with four cots for resting.
In Fall 2016, Rebecca Nelson, FNP, RN, joined Ravenscroft as the Coordinator of Jones Health Center. She is assisted by Gina Taylor, RN, who has worked at the Health Center since 2006. Our nurses dispense medications, maintain student health records, perform visual screenings at specific grade levels, encourage good health practices and coordinate services with each division's clinical counselor.
