School nurses work with children, their families, school educators and the community. The school nurse’s role was historically viewed as providing episodic care to individual children. However, school nurses now often provide highly skilled nursing care to chronically ill and medically fragile children. School nurses are also responsible for educating the school community on health practices such as hearing and vision screening, prevention of injuries, prevention of communicable disease through immunization and promoting health through education. As a public health agency, we partner with school nurses to ensure they have the necessary resources to educate on infection prevention and promote overall health.
