About MBSAI: Health & Safety Services
MBSAI: Health & Safety Services was founded by a 2ndgeneration Registered Nurse in an attempt to meet the nursing needs of Louisiana schools. Our company was established on the premise that nursing is both a science and an art. From such a premise, our nurses use the competencies of critical thinking to combine information from the sciences and nursing knowledge bases, derive knowledge from past and present experiences, apply critical thinking attitudes to clinical situations, and implement intellectual & professional standards.
At MBSAI: Health & Safety Services, we believe that healthy children are successful learners. Our position is that the registered professional school nurse has a multi- faceted role within the school setting. The nurse’s role supports the mental, physical, emotional, and social health of students and their success in the learning process. In addition, the school nurse serves as a liaison between school personnel, family, community, and health care providers to advocate for health care and a healthy school environment. To that end, we help facilitate normal development and positive student response to interventions; promote health and safety including a healthy environment; intervene in response to actual and potential health problems; provide case management services; and actively collaborate with others to build student and family capacity for adaptation, self- management, self- advocacy, and learning.
