School Nursing

School nursing is a specialized practice of professional nursing that advances the well‐being, academic success and lifelong achievement and health of students. To that end, school nurses facilitate positive student responses to normal development; promote health and safety including a healthy environment; 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 (NASN, 2015).

The role of the school nurse is to advance the academic success and lifelong health and well‐being of students by promoting school-based health and safety through vision, hearing, and oral health assessment, immunizations, health education, and coordination of health care services for students with health needs, including students with chronic illnesses and disabilities.
