    The Role of the 21st Century School Nurse

     

    It is the position of the National Association of School Nurses (NASN) that every child has access all day, every day to a full time registered professional school nurse. The school nurse serves in a pivotal role that bridges health care and education. Grounded by standards of practice, services provided by the school nurse include leadership, community/public health, care coordination, and quality improvement (NASN, 2016a).

    Certified School Nurses Roles - Summit Public Schools

    "A student’s health is directly related to his or her ability to learn. Children with unmet health needs have a difficult time engaging in the educational process. The school nurse supports student success by providing health care through assessment, intervention, and follow-up for all children within the school setting. The school nurse addresses the physical, mental, emotional, and social health needs of students and supports their achievement in the learning process."
