January 2019
Legislative Updates from NHSNA President

Dear New Hampshire School Nurses;

Gallup recently polled people about honesty and ethical standards in different occupations, finding that nurses top the honesty league for the 16th year in a row! 

https://news.gallup.com/poll/224639/nurses-keep-healthy-lead-honest-ethical-profession.aspx?g_source=Economy&g_medium=newsfeed&g_campaign=tiles

 It is our responsibility to enhance our practice by attending continuing education seminars, by collaborating with other nurses and organizations, and by keeping up to date with unfolding legislative changes in our state.  READ MORE HERE
