INSIGHT: School nurse has the responsibility to promote health and wellness to the students. In order to promote that responsibility we conducted a health class last Nov. 25, 2014, in three (3) different classrooms. Our topic was about Womens Rights As a health promoter, we should deliver our health class in a way that our topic would easily understand by the students and will learn a lot from us. During our first health class, we felt anxious, but as we continue to the other classrooms, we were able to conduct our health class with confidence, and we were able to insert humors. We saw a lot of students were interested in our topic because a lot of questions were raised about our topic. Some of them asked if there is a law implemented for men. With confidence, we were able to answer their questions correctly. We were glad and satisfied that day because we helped a a lot of students to know what was their rights as a women and what law should be given as punishment to the people who might violate their rights.
