ABCD - Hirsch Elementary School Campus Nurse Dionne Cosey
On Wednesday, May 11, Hirsch Elementary School Campus Nurse Dionne Cosey took care of a second-grader who broke his arm in a playground accident.
Exhibiting professionalism and wonderful presence of mind, she held the studentโs arm and provided the necessary first aid to stabilize it and prevent further dislocation while waiting for the ambulance to arrive at the campus.
Just two days later, on Friday, May 13, Nurse Cosey had to perform the Heimlich Maneuver on a member of the schoolโs cafeteria staff who was choking on food.
This employee was already turning purple when Nurse Cosey arrived on the scene, but thankfully she was able to dislodge the food and clear the employeeโs airway so they were again able to breathe.
In both of these instances, Nurse Coseyโs calm under pressure, skillful response, and quick action helped avert potentially serious outcomes.
With National Nurses Week and National School Nurses Day both celebrated in May, it is especially fitting to honor Nurse Cosey for going โAbove and Beyondโ in her everyday commitment to the students and staff of Hirsch Elementary School and Spring ISD.
