Celebrate School Nurses During Nurse Appreciation Week

This is Nurse Appreciation Week, a time to celebrate nurses in all arenas – emergency rooms, schools, homeless shelters, and many others – for their dedication to improving the health and well being of children and families across the country.

Nurses connect school children to health care resources and, in some cases, provide basic health care and screenings. Nurses work to ensure that children are healthy and have the support they need to be successful learners. In California, there is one school nurse for every 2,035 students, according to 2009 data.
