New Hampshire School Nurses' Association

Invitation from US to YOU

Open letter to all NH School Nurses

As a professional community, we have so much to be proud of! Unlike other nursing positions we may have held in the past, our role as the school nurse is unique in that we are independent in our practice. Many of us are in small schools working alone in our offices and sometimes alone in our districts. The school nurse needs to be efficient with his/her time, make important judgment calls on the spot, be skilled in every discipline of nursing, be able to meet the needs of our students, families and staff, and know when to ask for help when we need it.

Please consider joining the New Hampshire School Nurse Association. Only MEMBERS have access to our Members Only web page (which will appear in your menu after your membership is paid). This web page is made by School Nurses for School Nurses. A wealth of care plans, forms and research.

WE NEED BOARD AND COMMITTEE MEMBERS!

The New Hampshire School Nurses' Association functions because of the dedication of school nurses who volunteer to serve on committees. We hope you will consider joining one of our committees. As NHSNA Board and Committee members, we have the opportunity to define practice and serve as leaders for nurses in every school across our state.

Our organization:

organizes school nurse continuing education conferences.
works with legislators on laws that define and guide our practice at school
serve as consultants for the Department of Education, the Board of Nursing, the NH School Boards Association, members of the New Hampshire Senate and House of Representatives.
Mentors new school nurses through our School Nurse essentials workshops

It is a privilege serving on the Board of NHSNA, as well as a wonderful opportunity for personal and professional growth. The things you learn by being a part of this group will enhance your knowledge and skills as you serve your school community. Currently we have positions open and would be happy to discuss opportunities with NHSNA.
