School
nursing is a specialized practice of professional nursing that advances
the well-being, academic success, and life-long achievement of students.
To that end, school nurses facilitate positive student responses to
normal development; promote health and safety; 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.
