ForwardSchool Nurse Clinical Education and Training Ft. Carson Army Base
Optimizing student health outcomes, improving school performance, boosting attendance, and promoting the overall well-being of school-aged children with medical complexities are essential student priorities in expanding access to comprehensive training for nurses and healthcare providers working in both urban and rural communities across Colorado. This initiative is designed to equip school and community-based nurses, including childcare health consultants, with the knowledge and skills necessary to effectively support children with special healthcare needs. Targeted education related to the top nine health conditions seen in school settings and take-home training kits will empower these healthcare professionals to deliver high-quality care and train/delegate Unlicensed Assistive Personnel (UAPs) effectively to ensure that children with medical complexities can thrive in their educational environments.
This training is provided collaboratively between Children's Hospital Colorado and the Colorado Department of Education. Funding for this project was provided through Congressionally Directed Spending federal funding.
