“Our work is more than bleeding and band-aids...Making a difference in students' lives is the reason we are school nurses. Helping students with their chronic illnesses now is so important, so when they become young adults/adults they have a solid foundation on how they need to live their life. It’s about being someone a student or their family knows they can turn to.”
