WCH: School Nursing Support
School nurses facilitate the well-being and educational success of North Carolina's children and youth through services directed toward keeping students healthy, in class and ready to learn. In fulfilling this role, they are an integral part of the Student Instructional Support Personnel (SISP) team. The National Association of School Nurses defines school nursing as a specialized practice of nursing that protects and promotes student health, facilitates optimal development, and advances academic success (NASN, 2017).
The North Carolina Division of Public Health School Health Nurse Consultant team provides consultation and technical assistance to North Carolina school nurses and other school staff to ensure that student wellness and health needs are addressed for optimal educational access. The team is comprised of ten members that focus on state, regional and specialty practice in accomplishing this goal. In collaboration with a variety of multidisciplinary specialists across Division of Public Health and community partners, the consultant team supports all stakeholders in the health and education of children and youth.
Among the goals of the School Health Nurse Consultant Team are the improvement of quality of school health programs and school nursing practice. Please navigate the links on the right for information and resources that support these goals.
