National School Nurse Day

Apr 28, 2025
National School Nurse Day is May 7. With over 40% of school-aged children affected by chronic or mental health conditions, school nurses play a vital role in improving attendance, reducing health disparities, and supporting student success. School nurses positively impact students, families, and schools by providing direct care, managing chronic conditions, promoting mental health and school attendance, connecting families to community resources, and coordinating care to break down barriers to healthcare access. With increased awareness and policy advocacy, we can safeguard the critical contributions of school nurses for future generations. See the National Association of School Nurses for more information.
