Hopefully Helpful School Nurse Tip: The phrase "You don't know what you don't know" and rings entirely true when it comes to the profession of school nursing. There are many misconceptions about school nursing. Read on to learn a few truths about being a school nurse.
According To The National Association of School Nurses
Definition of School Nursing
School nursing, a specialized practice of public health nursing, protects and promotes student health, facilitates normal development, and advances academic success. School nurses, grounded in ethical and evidence-based practice, are the leaders that bridge health care and education, provide care coordination, advocate for quality student-centered care, and collaborate to design systems that allow individuals and communities to develop their full potentials.Approved by the NASN Board of Directors June 2016

I enjoy the challenge of making each student (and staff)
health center visit an educational opportunity to promote health and disease prevention. School nursing is my career and passion. Learn more about being a school nurse by reading any of the following DOASN blog posts:

Hello! I’m writing a story for All You, a national women's magazine, and looking for school nurses willing to share their insider health advice for parents. I love your blog and thought you'd be the perfect interview subject!
ReplyDeleteFor instance, what are some things you’d like to parents to know about their kids’ health? The more surprising the advice the better—for instance, are kids who often suffer stomach aches possibly just anxious, and how do you gently suss that out? What are some non-obvious ways kids can avoid getting sick (other than washing hands)? If you think your kid or someone else may have lice what should you do, do they really have to skip school? What other advice would you like to impact?
My deadline is ideally end of today, but flexible if need be. You can call me or email your advice—the more the merrier—along with a phone number for follow-up questions. Thanks so much!

Wow! I am so glad to find this blog! I am a school nurse for 5 years in a local college. I really love School Nursing but sadly at times, some educational institutions do not see the value of having school nurses. :(( I have yet to explore your blog but it makes me happy knowing about a nurse writing about her nursing adventures in the school setting.
ReplyDeleteHi.... I hope you're still enjoying the challenges of school nursing!
