Happy National School Nurse Day to the nurses across the country who care for 55 million students all school day.

From emergency triage, chronic condition management, public health administration, health education, to trusted confidant. Thank you for your impact.

Joining @ASCAtweets in recognition of #NSCW24. We see the dedication and impact of counselors first-hand, and it is truly awe inspiring. These are the people who connect with students when they are most vulnerable, who help them dream bigger and then turn dreams into reality

Can’t get the funding your school needs for more school nurses? The answer may be adding and billing for Medicaid services. #schoolnurse #medicaid #childrenshealth

Some Indiana school nurses are now stocking Narcan to help ensure their students are safe from fatal overdoses. Would you stock Narcan at your school? #schoolnurse #studentsafety https://t.co/Lv620hBEAn

As we get ready to head back to school in the new year, it’s a great idea to check over this back-to-school health check-list to make sure our kids have everything they need to have a successful second half of the year!

Happy holidays to the entire school village: those who work tirelessly to ensure that students always feel supported, even in the weeks when they’re not with you. Take the week to relax, you’ve absolutely earned it. 💙

94% of school nurses are women

We think this is part of why the narrative about school nurses is "ice packs & band aids" rather than emergency triage, chronic condition management, and the regulatory compliance necessary to keep 57 million students healthy for 7 hours per day.

Emergency overdose treatment administered 15 times in #ALschools this school year. "What I have heard is that there are #schools that are moving towards adding it (#Narcan / #Naloxone) this year as the use of #fentanyl has grown" - Exec Dir @DonnaMazyck.
