Role of the School Nurse

  • School nurses support the health and well-being of students who are well and those with acute or chronic health problems. We strive to keep the school population and larger community healthy through screenings, health education, and the promotion of healthy school environments. School nurses collaborate with families, school staff, health care providers, and community agencies. We act as case managers, clinicians, advocates, educators, health counselors, consultants, interprofessional team members, and sentinels for student health. School nursing is a specialized practice of professional nursing that advances students' well-being, academic success, and lifelong achievement.
