Today is School Nurse Day, a day dedicated to honoring and recognizing the contributions of school nurses in providing quality healthcare to students in schools.
School nurses are crucial in promoting the health and well-being of students, staff, and their families. They provide various services, including health screenings, first aid, medication administration, and health education. They also serve as a liaison between the school, families, and healthcare providers to ensure students receive the appropriate care they need to thrive academically and physically.
On School Nurse Day, schools and communities are encouraged to show their appreciation for our school nurses. #SchoolNursesRock
