My name is Jennifer Arbeiter and I am proud and happy to be the Registered Nurse for the Bush Middle School Bulldogs. This is my 5th year as a school nurse for NEISD but I have been a nurse since 2001. I’ve been able to gain great experiences in nursing in many settings including med-surg, physical rehabilitation, pediatrics, women’s services and camp nursing. It’s a privilege to care for people in all ages and stages from a newborn taking her first breath to an old man taking his last. I think nursing is a unique profession that allows me the ability to interact with all people of all ages in a distinctly personal way. I love spending time with my husband and children and our small zoo of cats, dogs and chickens. For fun I like to go camping, hiking, and caving and my favorite vacations include visits to our beautiful National Parks. I look forward to meeting you and caring for your student.

We all deserve a fabulous week off!

I recently had a student tell me “There is nothing in it. It’s just ‘vape juice’” Please help your kids understand that there is no such thing as something with “nothing” in it. “E-cigarettes are battery-powered smoking devices. They have cartridges filled with a liquid that usually contains nicotine, flavorings, and chemicals. The liquid is […]

Is it really an allergy?

January25

“We should do what we can to remove these labels of penicillin allergy because it leads to better healthcare outcomes,” said Dr. David Lang of the Cleveland Clinic in Ohio.”   It’s possible that 95% of people with a reported penicillin allergy aren’t truly allergic! Have you been misdiagnosed?

KIDS DON’T TELL YOU THEY HAVE ANXIETY, THEY SAY ‘MY STOMACH HURTS’

Great article!!   “Mom, my stomach hurts.”  

Lice or dandruff? That is the question.

January15

I am often asked by a parent or teacher to check a student for head lice and well over 90% of the time what I find is actually a dermatology issue such as dandruff. Let me encourage you to ask me to check! I hate the thought of families being subjected to treating lice when […]
