School nursing is a great career choice for RNs who are interested not only in treating illness or injury, but in educating students about their health and the risks it may face throughout their lives. School nurses contribute a great deal to improving the health of communities overall, because students with healthy habits can influence their peers and families to be healthier as well. Most school nurses should have a bachelor’s degree and be licensed as registered nurses, as recommended by the National Association of School Nurses, but regulations vary from state to state.

The intent of this list is to provide a series of resources both for current school nurses, and for nurses who are interested in pursuing further education with school nursing in mind as a career goal. This list is not a ranking, but merely a recommendation of the following useful and informative sites on school nursing and closely related topics.
