Ethical Dilemmas in School Nursing
VOICES: Ethical Dilemmas in School Nursing
School nurses play a crucial role in children’s health and development, far beyond routine care. This issue of VOICES shows how limited resources and support contribute to stress and ethical challenges in school nursing. The authors express a commitment to caring for students and advocate for greater support, and the stories promote a deep appreciation for the complex decisions school nurses face.
"The stories from the school nurses and the commentaries shed light on a nursing specialty whose light is under a bushel. Even as a pediatric nurse who communicated with school nurses many times, I was not fully aware of their role and challenges. This NIB issue provides important and valuable insight both for school administrators, educators, parents, and school nurses themselves in revealing each stakeholders' perspectives."
