Murfreesboro City Schools has a team of wonderful nurses to care for your children throughout the school day. The nurses are staffed in buildings to be able to care for students with chronic health conditions (diabetes, seizures, severe allergies, and asthma to name a few). Nurses are also available to students that become ill or injured during the school day. Our nurses are all trained and certified in CPR and First Aid. Many of our wonderful nurses are also American Heart Association CPR Instructors; and work closely with staff to make sure teams are trained in each building to be able to respond to a medical emergency. Our nurses work hard to make sure our children are “healthy and ready to learn”.
