Hello fellow nurses,
In this time of uncertainty and budget cuts, I wanted to share with you a way you could show your school board, PTA, administrators, etc. just what school nurses accomplish in the school and for the children of Texas.
Several years ago I shared with TSNO the annual report our district nurses submit annually to our school board. This report has been on our website for several years. I am thrilled to put the latest and improved edition on the website that includes when an RN made the difference…stories from the clinics and the future of school health services. View here for the report.
More cuts are expected next year. We must keep awareness of school nurses’ achievements and worth in the forefront.
Continue to sparkle nurses, sparkle!
