"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." (Adopted
at the NASN Board of Directors meeting, June
1999.)
