On June 13, 2024, school nurses and supporters from across Mississippi gathered at the Mississippi Center for Nursing in Madison to revise the Mississippi School Nurse Procedures and Standards of Care manual.
As each chapter was thoughtfully reviewed and updated, one theme remained constant: a shared passion for student well-being and a commitment to equipping school nurses with the tools they need to succeed.
