NASN-DEFINITION OF SCHOOL NURSING

School nursing is a specialized practice of professional nursing that advances the well-being, academic success and life-long achievement and health of students.  To that end, school nurses facilitate positive student responses to normal development; promote health and safety including a healthy environment; intervene with actual and potential health problems; provide case management services; and actively collaborate with others to build student and family capacity for adaptation, self-management, self advocacy, and learning.
