school nursing

School nursing is a specialized role that involves providing healthcare support to students within a school setting. School nurses assess and manage health issues, administer medications, coordinate care plans, and promote health education. They also identify potential health problems, support students with chronic conditions, and collaborate with families, teachers, and healthcare providers to ensure students' well-being and safety. This role helps students stay healthy, safe, and ready to learn, creating a supportive environment that addresses both immediate and preventive health needs during school hours.
