NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF SCHOOL NURSES

The leading worldwide expert for school health services, the National Association of School Nurses (NASN) improves the health and educational success of children and youth by developing and providing leadership to advance school nursing practice. NASN also represents school nurses on national and federal committees which affect health services to children.

In addition, NASN supplies written and oral testimony to Congress about school health services on request and advises members of federal legislation affecting school health services.

The Definition of School Nursing:
“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 case management services; and actively collaborate with others to build student and family capacity for adaptation, self management, self advocacy, and learning.”

This definition was adopted at the NASN Board of Directors meeting in Providence, Rhode Island in June 1999.
