School Nurses Make a Difference in Schools
West Virginia School Nurse RNs kept students in school approximately one half of a million days (500,000)
by returning students to class instead of sending them home. This means that school nurses returned
2,777 students back to the classroom each day during the 2014/15 school year!
Think of how many lost days could be saved if we had a school nurse in every school.
