To all the wonderful school nurses out there who continue to work during this COVID 19 pandemic, NYSASN wants to hear from you! Share your experiences with us by sending them to communications@nysasn.org and we will post them to our website. The more good news we hear the better to help lift our spirts during these difficult times.
Many thanks to the School Nurses who have responded to our request for sharing their stories during the COVID-19 pandemic. Check out their “Good News” submissions here.
NYSASN continues to support legislation that would ensure a nurse in every school,
a school nurse for the inspection of pupils, and a minimum of one school nurse per school building.
Please join us in our efforts to support the role of the school nurse. Read more here.
