  • Summary

  • School nurses have a front row seat to the indoctrination of our youth through their classrooms and the medical field. As a trusted adult in the school communities, it is imperative that school nurses confess the truth. Join me on playing offense and defense in this game of indoctrination.

    I hope this letter finds you doing well on this beautiful fall day. Here in the great state of Kansas, we are having crisp fall air in the morning followed by a wonderful ray of sunshine in the evening. I love this time of year. It reminds me of God’s beauty and that change is necessary to get through the next part of life.


    Today’s episode, while comical, will truly empower you to use the policies and guidelines your school already has in place. While some schools are being overrun with dogs and cats entering their classrooms, I find it very crucial to ensure the safety and well-being of all those that are around them. Students have allergies, animals are unpredictable, animals carry diseases. As a nurse and educator you should stand firm for the safety and well-being of your students, teachers, and staff. Correct health inspections, immunizations, and personnel should be used when animals are in the classroom.

    Episode 13 - Nuremberg Part 3
    Sep 19 2023

    Today, I close out the 3-part series on the Nuremberg Code by focusing on the 10 principles of the code and how those 10 principles directly correlate to our ANA Code of Ethics for Nurses. School nurses and educators have ethical responsibilities to our students. We are both responsible for the health and well-being of our students as well as academic education and cognitive development. Yes, we each come at these important tasks from a different angle, but we are all striving for student safety and success. The purpose of the Nuremberg Code was patient safety and success. It is time to make the Nuremberg Code great again, better yet, it is time to make the Code of Ethics for Nurses great again. This week, I challenge you to read the ANA Code of Ethics. Reflect on how this directly impacts each encounter you have with a student or fellow co-worker. How can you be a better nurse or educator by implementing the code of ethics?

    A 2018 study found that 22% of Millennials in America are not sure that they have ever heard of the Holocaust and 41% of American adults are not sure what Auschwitz was. This is strikingly alarming! Social, economic, and political pressures that existed in the 1930s and 1940s exist today and are impacting the way our students and patients are receiving medical care. This has a direct effect on how students are learning and performing in the classroom. Join me today as I discuss specific examples of atrocities doctors and nurses committed and how the same crimes are being committed today.
