Nurse Rose Presents Lessons to Berkley Schools Students

Vaping Lessons to 8th Graders

Nurse Rose visited 8th grade students at Norup on May 12 to provide valuable information in a well-rounded session about substances such as vaping, tobacco, marijuana, opioids and more. Nurse Rose will visit Anderson 8th graders before the school year is over. 

While at Norup, she explored not only the risks but also the broader effects these substances have on overall health, including long-term effects on both the mind and body. Nurse Rose explained how vaping devices work, discussed the potential health consequences of their use and shared a powerful story about a student whose life was drastically impacted by continuous vaping. She also highlighted the systemic side effects of these substances and touched on the role of Narcan in addressing opioid overdoses. Throughout the session, students were highly engaged, asking insightful questions for further clarity. Nurse Rose emphasized the importance of communication and offered options and resources for anyone seeking help, whether for themselves or others facing issues related to these topics.
