Licensed professional school nurses are responsible and accountable for assessment of and planning for safe and effective medical management of students with chronic health conditions, practice responsibilities that cannot be delegated (National Council of State Boards of Nursing, 2005). Therefore, it is the position of SNOA/NASN that school districts should provide a full-time professionally prepared registered nurse in every school building. SNOA/NASN recommends minimum ratios of nurses to students depending on the needs of the student populations: 1:750 for students in the general population Also recommended is additional school nurse staff to accommodate other student health needs including, but not limited to, special education evaluations, nursing services included in IEPs, nursing services for students with 504 Plans, and schools with large populations and large numbers of students with mental or social concerns (NASN, 2004).
