Revised: NASN Definition of School Nursing
School nursing is a specialized practice of professional nursing that advances the well-being, academic success and life-long achievement and health of students. To that end, school nurses facilitate positive
student responses to normal development; promote health and safety including a healthy environment; 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. (NASN 2010)
