Healthy Students, Ready to Learn: Reimagining the Role of the School Nurse
Description
A student’s ability to learn is influenced by more than academic instruction. Physical health, emotional wellbeing, social experiences, chronic health conditions, attendance, safety, and the school environment can all affect a student’s readiness to participate and succeed in learning. This interactive session will explore how school health and education are closely connected and will reframe the role of the school nurse as more than the professional who provides first aid or administers medication…
