After the home, the school environment has the most considerable influence on
any child’s development. In this environment, the school nurse’s role is to
bridge the gap between the child’s health and his or her education.
If you enjoy working with children or teens, prepared to work alone and take
the initiative, then working as a school nurse may be the perfect career choice
for you.
The practice of school nursing began in the United States on October 1, 1902.
Lina Rogers, the first school nurse, was hired to reduce absenteeism by
providing nursing care to students and families regarding their healthcare needs
related to communicable diseases. She led the implementation of evidence-
based nursing care across New York City schools. Since that time, the role of
school nurses expanded and became increasingly diverse.
