A CONCURRENT RESOLUTION

TO CONGRATULATE PAM ALLSBROOK, LEAD FLOAT NURSE FOR THE HORRY COUNTY SCHOOLS, ON BEING NAMED SOUTH CAROLINA SCHOOL NURSE OF THE YEAR.

Whereas, the South Carolina General Assembly is pleased to note that Pam Allsbrook, lead float nurse for the Horry County Schools, has been named South Carolina School Nurse (RN) of the Year by the South Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Control and the South Carolina Department of Education; and

Whereas, this prestigious award, presented at the South Carolina Annual School Nurse Conference, recognizes Ms. Allsbrook's invaluable contributions to her school, its students and staff, and the community; and

Whereas, as the district's lead float nurse, she works to support school nurses by orienting new staff members and providing ongoing professional development, and she has been instrumental in helping school nurses implement software designed to make the health room more efficient. She also works to provide employee training and recertification for cardiopulmonary resuscitation and the emergency use of an automatic external defibrillator; and

Whereas, a former emergency-room nurse and presently an active member of the South Carolina Association of School Nurses, Ms. Allsbrook has served as a school nurse for the past twelve years. During that time, she has had numerous opportunities to impact the lives of students and has earned the respect and affection of both students, parents, and school staff after having spent most of her school nursing career at South Conway Elementary School; and

Whereas, believing strongly in community involvement, she serves her church as a teacher and coordinator of children's programs. She spends much of her summers as a nurse at two camps, one of which hosts children with physical disabilities and chronic illnesses, and this past summer she traveled to Nepal as a medical missionary; and

Whereas, the General Assembly, grateful for her dedication to her high calling, wishes to commend Pam Allsbrook for her many years of service as a nurse and to congratulate her on being named South Carolina School Nurse of the Year, a well-deserved honor. Now, therefore,

Be it resolved by the House of Representatives, the Senate concurring:

That the members of the South Carolina General Assembly, by this resolution, congratulate Pam Allsbrook, lead float nurse for the Horry County Schools, on being named South Carolina School Nurse of the Year.

Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be provided to Pam Allsbrook.
