FREE: Sick Days of Diabetes

Videoconferencing from the Lone Star State! www.Connect2Texas.net
Cook Children's Medical Center presents Professional Development for School Nurses Sick Days of Diabetes Tuesday, March 8 4:00-5:00 PM CST FREE Diabetes is one of the most common chronic diseases of childhood. Children with diabetes are not more prone to illness, but when they get sick it can often be complicated by erratic blood sugars and ketones. Additional monitoring, as well as fluid and insulin replacement are often required to support the child with diabetes. This presentation will explore the components necessary to manage diabetes during times of illness. Join Michelle McMillan, RN, CDE as she compares how the body uses energy during periods of optimal health versus illness. Michelle will discuss the necessary interventions to reverse and treat ketosis, the components of ketone or sick day dosing, and the need for activity restrictions during period of ketosis. This program will help the school nurse understand why a physician’s order is required to administer the care necessary for illness during a state of ketosis and the criteria for seeking emergency care. Accreditation Cook Children's Medical Center is an approved provider of continuing nursing education by the Texas Nurses Association, an accredited approver by the American Nurses Credentialing Center's Commission on Accreditation.

Grades 7-12: Careers in Athletic Training/Sports Medicine

Sports or athletic trainers are part of the allied health profession, and work in a variety of ways to either help athletes and clients heal from injuries or to help prevent injuries from occurring while athletes practice or compete. In the US, in order to be an athletic trainer you must complete a minimum of a bachelor’s degree in athletic training. Many people in this field also hold master’s degrees and PhDs. Athletic trainers practice under a common license issued by the Ohio OTPTAT Board which defines the professional scope of practice.

The athletic trainer tends to work alongside other medical professionals, and usually works with doctors, especially those who specialize in sports medicine. When an athlete is injured, the athletic trainer helps to carry out any plans and methods for healing injuries and hopefully helping athletes to continue their sports careers when they have fully healed.

Join us as our guests discuss their backgrounds, the skills, training and education needed to succeed in this exciting and ever growing career field.
