Moses Taylor Foundation Requests Videos on the Role of School Nurses

Posted over 3 years ago by Holly Verderame

Dear School Nurses,
A few weeks ago, we reached out to you with a request to submit videos sharing your perspective on what you would like others to know about your role as a school nurse.
We did receive a few excellent videos so far — thank you to those who have submitted!
We hope the extended submission date of Wednesday, March 30 will allow ample time for you to submit. We've included the video submission instructions below.
If creating a video feels a bit intimidating — we'd still love to hear from you. If you're more comfortable submitting photos or a written quote, please do! Images can be of you in your school nurse role — whether you're volunteering at a health fair, working on paperwork at your desk, or even your headshot — by uploading them to this link. Brief quotes sharing what you would like school administrators or the general community to know about your role as a school nurse can be submitted via email to me at cmarcos@mosestaylorfoundation.org.
Along with the video, we are working on a print ad to run in a local magazine in May. We would also look to use your submissions for that purpose and the Foundation's ongoing awareness campaign.
How to Create and Share Your School Nurse Perspective Video
The Foundation plans to create and release two videos in conjunction with National School Nurse Day on May 4 — and we need your help!  
The first video will be shared with the general public through social media and email. It’s your chance to create a 15- to 30-second clip about what you want the community to know about your role. 
The second video will be shared only with administrators. We’d ask you to submit (again, in 30 seconds or less) a clip about what you wish administrators, staff, and school board members knew about your role. 
Please consider participating in this effort and sharing your perspective!
If you are interested in participating and submitting a video, click on the flyer below for more details.
All videos need to be submitted to the Foundation no later than Wednesday, March 30, 2022.
