Nursing is a work of heart

"A specialized practice of professional nurses that advances well being, academic success and life-long achievement of students. To that end, school nurses facilitate positive student responses to normal development: promote health and safety; intervene with actual and potential health problems; provide case management services; and actively collaborate with others to build student and family capacity for adaption, self-management, self-advocacy and learning." -National Association of School Nurses, 1999
