Endorsed and promoted by the National Association of School Nurses (NASN), this AJN Book-of-the-Year for multiple editions is the only comprehensive and current resource for practicing school nurses and students. From the foundations of practice, roles and functions, legal concerns, and leading and managing within school settings to the well child, the child with episodic and chronic illness, and behavioral issues, it encompasses all aspects of the delivery of healthcare services to school-age children, adolescents, and staff.
 
Written and edited by school nurses and pediatric experts, it features real-world-tested, best practices based on evidence and experience. There’s content here that you won’t find in other books, such as health assessments, individualized health plan development, mental health conditions including adolescent depression, contemporary legal issues, and current policy statements essential to school nursing.
