The purpose of school nursing is to enhance the educational process by maximizing the health and well being of school-aged children and adolescents physically, intellectually, socially, and emotionally.
Although the school nurse works with the essentially well child, the job responsibility includes children with acute and chronic illness, injury, handicapping conditions, and basic developmental disabilities.
The functions, which characterize school nursing include health education basic emergency care, illness and injury prevention, community relations, parent teacher health resources, and faculty responsibilities.
