Public Awareness of and Support for Funding of School Nurses

NASN, seeing pressing concerns facing school health, including school nurse workforce issues, the need for sustainable funding, and a lack of robust data to demonstrate the value of school nurses, commissioned a national poll to determine public awareness of and support for funding school nurses in U.S. schools. The NASN School Nurse article Public Perceptions of School Nurses: Results From a Recent Public Opinion Poll details survey results and highlights key takeaways arming school nurses, school nurse leaders, and state/national associations with critically important data to advocate for school nurses.
