Common Health Issues In a High School?

Specialties School

Published

Hi all,

For you high school (and anybody really!) nurses out there, what are common topics/health issues you encounter. I'm a new nurse, and have some down time, so I want to study topics/situations that are fairly common so I can be prepared when they come up.

I have a few on my list already

1. Seizures, types of seizures ect

2. Asthma

3. Drug abuse

Any others?

Thanks everybody!
