  • August Quarterly Newsletter

  • Time Article about School Nurses

    We are thrilled to share that in honor of School Nurse Day (May 8, 2024) and Mental Health Awareness Month, TIME Magazine chose today to publish my op-ed, "To Address the Teen Mental Health Crisis, Look to School Nurses." My perspective uses historical analysis to support how a school nurse in every school would make a difference in combating the teen mental health crisis. Please share with VASN (I wasn't exactly sure of the best emails to use for this) and consider sending a copy to local, state, and national policymakers in support of passing the One School, One Nurse Act, a bill that would provide every public school in America with a full-time Registered Nurse.
