Happy National Nurse’s Day & Week – 2025

School Nurse Day: School nurses are frequently the initial destination for students who are unwell or injured. However, they also offer a plethora of valuable information that contributes to a fruitful education. This observance serves as a reminder of the various reasons why the nurse is accessible to your school. In addition to tending to scrapes on the playground and checking for fevers at the onset of illness, school nurses act as first responders for medical issues and administer mid-day medication doses.
