Nurse Deon

10 episodes

Nurse Deon is a real pediatric nurse who hosts short health adventures for elementary kids, taking on one wellness topic per episode with a warm, hands-on style. He measures a patient’s vital signs, walks a nervous kid through a flu shot alongside a child life specialist, shops the food groups for a balanced meal, and teaches medicine-cabinet safety after a vitamin scare. Other episodes get bodies moving with a follow-along workout and real water-safety skills, name the five senses using aquarium animals, and use breathing tricks and the zones of emotion to handle big feelings. The tone is friendly and practical, so a class can watch a health habit explained or demonstrated and then try it themselves.
