Get To Know Nurse Lynsey
My name is Lynsey and I started here at Elmwood as the District Nurse in January of 2022. I graduated from the University of Toledo with my Bachelor's of Science in Nursing in 2019. After graduation, I worked at Russell J. Ebeid Children's Hospital in Toledo on the General Pediatrics floor for two years. I have a wonderful husband, Travis, and a daughter, Paisley. We have two dogs, Miley and Cooper. I enjoy reading, traveling, and spending time with my family and friends. A fun fact about myself is that I have a total of 30 nieces and nephews!
Helpful Information
Fevers and Vomiting: Students cannot return to school until they have been fever free (without medication) for 24 hours. Students should not attend school if they have vomited in the last 24 hours.
Covid-19: We are now treating Covid-19 the same as other illnesses. Students who have tested positive can return to school once they are symptom free for 24 hours.
Diabetes: If your student has diabetes, please reach out to Nurse Lynsey. You will need to have your child's endocrinologist send over a copy of their diabetes management plan. You will need to provide all medications. Nurse Lynsey does have a supply of juice boxes and snacks on hand to help manage low blood sugars, but please provide some if your child has specific snack preferences (they can be stored in the nurse's clinic). Attached below is a helpful guide for ensuring your student is prepared for the school year.
