Nurses Corner
Did you know stress can affect heart health? Stress can sneak up on students, especially during busy weeks. One helpful technique is deep belly breathing, which slows the heart rate and helps the body relax. I also encourage students to stay organized with simple routines, like using a planner or packing their backpack the night before, to cut down on morning stress. Spending time with friends and family or taking up a new hobby can all help reduce stress. And finally, talking to a trusted adult—a parent, teacher, counselor, or me—can make worries feel a lot more manageable
Your School Nurse, Ms. Zamorano
