Online School Nurse Certificate Programs

School nurses play a significant role in promoting health and wellness among the student population of a school. Their role includes teaching students about health and safety, assist students and their families to understand the connection between health and learning, and dealing with health and injury problems that take place in the school. This can dealing with many types of chronic problems according to a physician's plan (such as diabetes), severe allergic reactions (e.g. a severe reaction to foods such as nuts or a bee sting which can in rare cases be fatal), use of a defibrillator (for those schools that have them) and more.
