Boundaries for The School Nurse

 Do school nurses need professional boundaries?

Hopefully Helpful School Nurse Tip: I've been promoting boundaries on The School Nurse Ig feed for years, literally years. Boundaries will look very different from one school nurse to the next and between one school to another school. Regardless, they are equally important and should be set & followed.

What are professional boundaries?  

When school nurses set boundaries they are practicing a social skill. This social skill defines a specific areas in their life  (professional or personal). Think of professional boundaries like a set of rules, instructions, or directions that you use to define where your professional responsibilities end and your personal responsibilities begin.

What can happen when school nurses don't set professional boundaries?

Without clear and defined professional boundaries, a school nurse may begin to develop resentment for the job. They may feel taken advantage of, taken for granted, and/or underappreciated.

Why do school nurses need professional boundaries?

When a school nurse sets healthy professional boundaries, they may feel:

• more in control of their time
• like they have a more clear understanding of professional responsibilities v. requests
• more confident saying "no"
