Nurses trained by BioAllan
This concerns the staff of the Courbet high school, but also those of the agricultural high school of Valdoie, the Goscinny college and schools in its area. “The scope of this campaign was defined according to the number of cases that we have observed since the start of the school year”, explains Isabelle Burggraf, nurse technical advisor to the academic director, Eugène Krantz, and referent for screening in the North Franche- County.
In a small wing, at the back of the school, the tests are carried out by three school nurses, members of the mobile team of the Urban Area: Nathalie Caubien (Lycée Courbet), Isabelle Rémy (Collège Chateaudun) and Delphine Bart ( Tillion and Mandela High Schools). All three followed a day of training with BioAllan laboratory samplers. “The first time, we dread a little. But it is ultimately a fairly easy gesture. You just need to be tactful so as not to hurt, ”emphasizes Isabelle Rémy.
