The School Nurse requires expertise in pediatrics, public health and mental health. Health promotion, assessment and referral skills are also an integral component of the role. The school nurse conducts illness and injury assessments and interventions; provides health screenings to students and faculty; handles chronic disease management and education; creates individualized nursing plans for students with special needs or disabilities; helps develop guidelines for school policies; and serves as a liaison between school and community health care needs.
