This article describes the life of a full-time nurse supporting the Montessori environment at Wilmington Montessori School (WMS) in Delaware. WMS currently has about 200 students, ranging in age from 12 months to 12 years, during the regular school day, plus a before- and aftercare program for their own students as well as students from the local public schools, and an active summer camp. During Paige Lucarelli's 13-year tenure at WMS, she has developed a deep appreciation for the Montessori philosophy, and she has made it a priority to incorporate the spirit of the philosophy into her nursing practice. Everyday, she strives to model respectful language and actions, value each child as a unique individual, and support children as they learn to care for themselves, others, and the environment. While the children are her main focus, including the rest of the community in some aspects of care is a natural extension of what she does. She also educates the staff about health and safety matters, covering various topics such as blood-borne pathogens, food allergies, reminders about health policies, suggestions for healthy snacking, and, of course, strategies to reduce the spread of germs--particularly hand washing, hand washing, and more hand washing. Outside the walls of her office, she works on school-wide emergency prevention and planning. Her overarching goal is to provide for the health and safety of the members of the community, in a timely, appropriate, and skilled manner, and with a holistic and calm approach.
