Our School Nurse

Nurse Nishida

By Hirohito HOSOE & Osamu HIOKI

We interviewed our school nurse, Ms Takako Nishida.

She worked for a company for two years before she took her health nurse qualification. Now she has been working in our school for 25 years.

About 30 students use the nurse's room every day, but some days more than 30 students use the nurse's room. A long time ago, girls visited the nurse's room more than boys but now it is almost the same number.

They go to the nurse's room because they have stomachaches, headaches and emotional problems. Students who are troubled talk with teachers there. Students who have physical problems sleep in one of the beds for about one hour.

When there are no students in the nurse's room, nurse Nishida does paperwork. She thinks students should learn more about the right life style.
