School Nurse Workload: Staffing for Safe Care. Position Statement. Revised
National Association of School Nurses
It is the position of the National Association of School Nurses (NASN) that access to a registered professional nurse (hereinafter referred to as a school nurse) all day, every day can improve students' health, safety, and educational achievement. Student acuity and school community indicators should be assessed to determine appropriate staffing levels. Access to a school nurse may mean that more than one school nurse is necessary to meet the needs of the school population. School nurse workloads should be evaluated on at least an annual basis to meet the health and safety needs of school communities (Jameson et al., 2018). [This position statement was adopted January 2015, reviewed January 2020, and revised June 2020. For the January 2015 statement, see ED600910.]
