Dear Parents/Guardians:
As the Delegating Registered Nurse for Carroll Manor Elementary School, I want to take this opportunity to introduce myself, Patti Unpingco, RN.
I am employed by the Frederick County Health Department, School Health Program. I am also the delegating registered nurse at Brunswick Midde School. My responsibilities include health assessments, health counseling, communicable disease prevention, crisis intervention, health education, and referrals for health needs. I work closely with school administration, faculty, medical providers, and parents/guardians to develop plans of care for students with medical needs. I am responsible for ensuring that medications and treatments can be safely administered during the school day.
Your child’s CMES Health Room is also staffed by Registered Nurse, Lauren Smith RN. The CMES RN is licensed by the Maryland Board of Nursing and functions as a nursing team member. The CMES RN is licensed to administer medication and treatments and can provide health education, training, identify health needs, and update existing student health care plans.
If your child requires a medication or medical treatment during the school day, his/her health care provider must complete the appropriate forms. These forms may be obtained from the Health Room and at https://www.fcps.org/student-services/forms
Please contact me at 240-236-3848 if you have any questions or concerns about the health care of your child. I look forward to meeting you and wish you and your child a healthy and successful school year.
Sincerely,
Patty Unpingco RN
