National Association of School Nurses
It is the position of the National Association of School Nurses (NASN) that the registered professional school nurse is an essential member of a multidisciplinary education team that identifies, evaluates, and monitors students who may be eligible for services through the Individuals with Disabilities Education Improvement Act (IDEIA; 2004) or Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973. This statement provides the background and rationale for NASN's position. [This Position Statement was initially adopted in January 2018 and revised in January 2023.]
