Health & Nursing Services

"School nursing, a specialized practice of public health nursing, protects and promotes student health, facilitates normal development, and advances academic success.  School nurses, grounded in ethical and evidence-based practice, are the leaders that bridge health care and education, provide care coordination, advocate for quality student-centered care, and collaborate to design systems that allow individuals and communities to develop their full potentials."

(Adopted at the National Association of School Nurses Board of Directors Meeting in Providence, Rhode Island, in June 1999)
