Welcome to c-Nurse (cyber-nurse) a health advice service
for Cornell College students using the Web. C-nurse is provided by Cornell
College Student Health Services. If this is your first time using c-nurse,
please read the information. This service is not intended for emergency
or urgent care.
You may ask your health-related questions 24 hours a day. One of our
nurses will periodically review your questions throughout the day, 8am-4:30pm,
Monday through Friday, and respond to you on your email. If your situation
is an emergency (breathing difficulty, uncontrolled bleeding), call 9-911.
If it is urgent, call the Student Health Center during our hours of operation.
In most cases your question will be answered within 24 hours of the working
day it is received.
There are some other questions you might have:
Is my question considered confidential?
We are making every attempt to ensure your confidentiality, including
incrypting both your question and our answer and restricting access to
the c-Nurse mailbox to authorized clinic nurses only. However, please
be aware that in the current technological environment, confidentiality
cannot be 100% guaranteed. You can help this effort by ensuring that your
own email box is restricted to your use alone.
What can I ask c-Nurse?
You can ask anything you like. The answer will depend on what is possible
without your being present. Some complete answers may require an examination
of some kind (physical, not written), or the answers to other questions
you will be asked. The answers to some questions may require a review
of your medical record or past medical history.
Whatever the answer, be assured that our desire is to give you the best
possible advice by clinical professionals, to guide you in making healthy
decisions.
