"Today, school nursing is recognized as a specialized practice that advances the well-being, academic success, and life-long achievements of students. School nurses promote health and safety; intervene with actual and potential health problems; provide case management services; actively collaborate with others to build student/family capacity for adaptation, self-management, self-advocacy and learning." (The National Association of School Nurses).

We provide these services to an increasingly large number of students and it shows how much school nurses do to keep kids healthy and ready to learn.

HEALTHY CHILDREN ARE SUCCESSFUL LEARNERS.
