Enhancing Understanding: Share What School Nurses Do

According to NASN, there are many misconceptions among school administrators, educators, and other school staff, as well as families, regarding the role of school nurses. While many view school nurses positively, they often believe that the specialized practice of nursing is limited to first aid and assessing the severity of illnesses or injuries. The School Nursing Practice Framework™ provides a graphic illustration of the key practice principles —an invaluable tool for advancing the practice of school nursing and for emphasizing the student-centered activities school nurses perform to support student health, safety, and readiness to learn. Below are customizable Framework presentations to help you create a better understanding of the unique role of school nurses.
