MORE THAN LICE, ICE & BAND-AIDS


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

health center visit an educational opportunity to teach
 health promotion and disease prevention.

    I would love to use your school nurse notes, but I need your permission to do so. I am new to your blog and enjoying looking around and love those notes. Please let me know if I can use them with your permission

    Thank you

    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!

    For 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.
