School Nurses

School nurses are healthcare professionals who work within educational settings to promote students’ health and well-being. They assess and treat minor injuries and illnesses, manage chronic conditions like asthma or diabetes, and provide health education. They also coordinate care with families and healthcare providers, ensure vaccinations are up to date, and promote healthy habits. By addressing health issues early, they help students stay healthy, safe, and ready to learn. Their role is vital in creating a safe school environment where students’ physical and emotional health needs are supported.
