The Student Health & Wellness Office provides nursing health care for individual students. The college nurse can assess your complaint and pertinent body system and make a nursing diagnosis, discussing the next steps of care.
About College Nurse Services
This service provides assistance to students with health concerns including but not limited to health & wellness counseling, illness assessment, vision/hearing screenings, tobacco cessation counseling, TB skin testing, TB risk assessment questionnaire, urinalysis, pregnancy testing, body composition screening, blood sugar screening, anemia screening, cholesterol (lipid) screening (nominal fee). If on-going or follow-up care is needed, we will work with you to connect with follow-up care that aligns with your needs and preferences.
Primary Healthcare Provider
It is not the intention of the college nurse to be identified as a primary healthcare provider. She can assist with short-term / temporary health problems, but you must follow-up with your primary healthcare provider for on-going healthcare.
Medications
The office stocks a limited inventory of non-prescription, over-the-counter (OTC) medications to treat common - uncomplicated ailments. Students must self-select OTC's. Health center staff cannot recommend an OTC. Educational materials are available to assist with your OTC selection.
