| Subject: | School Nurse Day in Pennsylvania |
| Since 1972, National School Nurse Day has been set aside to foster a better understanding of the role of School Nurses in the educational setting and celebrate the vital part that School Nurses play in our communities. This year, School Nurse Day is May 10, 2023. School Nurses work collaboratively with principals, teachers, parents and guardians to carry out a comprehensive school health services program for students, following the guidelines of the School Code, DOH Regulations, PDE Regulations, and local school district policies so that students can learn and thrive each day. Responding to everything from daily medication management to the outbreak of communicable diseases in a classroom, to injuries on the playground, our school nurses rise to meet each challenge with the same sense of urgency, compassion, and duty as every other front-line health professional in the Commonwealth. Together with the Pennsylvania Association of School Nurses and Practitioners (PASNAP), we take special time to recognize the contributions that School Nurses are making to the health and learning of our Commonwealth’s nearly 2 million schoolchildren. Please join us in recognizing and honoring the more than 3,200 School Nurses working across our public education system in Pennsylvania by co-sponsoring this resolution. |
