In mid-December of 2024, another school shooting was making headlines. This time, the shooter was a girl student in Wisconsin who pulled out a gun and opened fire – killing two people, wounding six others. As we grow numb to the media reports of school shootings, as well as those that the media doesn’t cover, school nurse Robin Cogan, RN, refuses to be complacent about the persistent gun violence in our country. Robin is the author of the blog Relentless School Nurse, a blog she writes on a variety of topics related to child and family health and wellbeing, including school health. She’s also a national expert on gun violence and a regular contributor to HealthCetera in the Catskills. On December 18, 2024, HealthCetera in the Catskills producer and host Diana Mason, RN, interviewed Cogan about the continuing public health crisis of gun violence and questionable mitigation strategies such as active shooter school drills.
