"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 care management services; and actively
collaborate with others to build student and family capacity for adaptation,
self-management, self-advocacy, and learning."
