Abstract
In the Spring 2024 semester, Luz-Angelica completed her engaged learning opportunity at Irving Middle School (IMS), in Maywood, a village in Proviso Township, Cook County, Illinois. During her internship at IMS, she had the opportunity to work closely with the school nurse to address the complex challenges faced by students, including absenteeism, bullying, and physical altercations. It was evident that these issues were interconnected and often stemmed from underlying social and economic factors. Having a hands-on role in assessing and partaking in therapeutic communication alongside the school nurse and other staff members, helped foster valuable insights into the importance of a holistic approach to supporting students in underserved communities and the critical role that healthcare professionals play in promoting student well-being and academic success.
