Welcome

School nursing is a specialty branch of professional nursing that seeks to prevent or identify student health related problems and intervenes to modify or remediate these problems. A comprehensive school health program includes the delivery of health services and health education, which directly contributes to the student's education, as well as the health of the family and community.
