Abstract
School health nursing is a specialized practice of nursing that aims to enhance the health and well-being of students to improve their educational outcomes. By addressing physical, emotional, and social health issues, school nurses play a pivotal role in creating a safe and healthy learning environment. This article explores the roles, responsibilities, challenges, and impacts of school health nursing, highlighting its significance in fostering the holistic development of children and adolescents. School health nursing is a specialized branch of nursing that focuses on promoting the health and well-being of students to enhance their educational success. Positioned at the intersection of healthcare and education, school health nurses address a wide range of physical, mental, and social health needs within the school setting. Their responsibilities include health promotion, disease prevention, chronic disease management, acute care, emergency response, and mental health support. By conducting health screenings, ensuring immunization compliance, and implementing individualized healthcare plans, school nurses play a pivotal role in identifying and addressing health issues early. In addition to direct care, school health nurses act as advocates for students, bridging communication between families, educators, and healthcare providers.
