Nurse & Health Services

School nursing is a specialized practice of professional nursing. School nurses focus on advancing the health and wellness of students to enhance academic achievement. School nurses promote normal growth and development, health, and safety. School nurses intervene with actual or potential health problems, develop a plan of care, and promote a safe environment where children can learn to the best of their ability.

School nurses collaborate with other members of the school team and partner with the community, families, students, and other family members of health care to advocate for student health.
