Calling All School Nurses! Join Us for the 33rd Annual Cook Children's School Nurse Symposium

Hey there, amazing school nurses! Looking for top-notch continuing education (and a chance to connect with awesome colleagues)? Look no further than the 33rd Annual Cook Children's School Nurse Symposium on June 13!

For over 32 years, we've been hosting this incredible event, welcoming nurses from over 10 states. This year's symposium is packed with informative talks and workshops designed to keep you at the forefront of student health and well-being. School Nurse Sympsium-3

This live, virtual program will help nurses in primary and secondary schools as they face many unique challenges. We hope you take this opportunity to learn from clinical experts in the comfort of your own home and nurses can receive credit hours.

What's on tap? Here's a sneak peek:

  • Substance Use in School-Aged Children: Led by Jeff Temple, Ph.D, from the University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston (UTHealth Houston), this session will equip you with the knowledge and tools to address this growing concern.
  • From A to Z: We've got you covered on a wide range of topics, including respiratory illnesses, anxiety, managing students with complex medical needs, and more!
  • Local Expertise: Diane Arnaout, M.D. of Cook Children's Pediatrics Forest Park, will be sharing her insights on common childhood illnesses.
  • First Responders in Action: Gain valuable firsthand knowledge from a panel featuring our Cook Children’s Medical Director for Emergency Services Taylor Louden, M.D., and EMT Joe Garza.
  • Protecting Our Students: Learn how to identify and respond to victims of human trafficking with Elizabeth Peeler, D.O.

But wait, there's more!

  • Reviews: Here's what past attendees are saying:
    • "This was the best, most thorough conference I have attended in about 5 years!"
    • "I am not from Texas and really appreciate being able to attend this conference! The information was really good"
    • "This is my 7th symposium and it was the best one overall. I learned something useful from each speaker."
