What Does Your School Nurse Do?
The National Association of School Nurses defines school nursing
as:A specialized practice of professional nursing that advances the well-being,
academic success, and life-long achievement of students. To that end, school
nurses facilitate positive student responses to normal development; promote
health and safety; intervene with actual and potential health problems; provide
case management services; and, actively collaborate with others to build student
and family capacity for adaptation, self-management, self-advocacy, and
learning.
