What do School Clinical Nurse Specialists do?
A School Clinical Nurse Specialist (CNS) applies advanced nursing knowledge and expertise to provide direct care to students, educate school staff and families, develop health programs, and influence policies to improve overall student health in a school setting.
They work across diverse school environments to address the specific health needs of student populations, serving as clinicians, educators, consultants, researchers, and leaders.
What they do
Clinician: Provide direct, specialized care to students with acute or chronic health conditions.
Educator: Teach students, parents, and school staff about managing health conditions and promoting wellness.
Consultant: Serve as an expert resource for school nurses, teachers, and administrators, advising on best practices and health-related issues.
Researcher: Translate research findings into evidence-based practices for school health services.
Leader/Manager: Develop and implement policies and programs that create healthier school environments and improve health outcomes for students.
Education
- School CNSs typically hold a master’s or doctoral degree in nursing.
- They must also be licensed and often hold certifications in their specialty areas.
Why CNSs Are Important in Schools
Address Complex Needs: Students often have complex medication regimens, chronic illnesses, or specialized health needs that require expert care and guidance.
Promote Preventive Care: CNSs can implement programs focused on disease prevention and health promotion, which are crucial for student populations.
Support Staff: They serve as “elbow consultants” to school nurses, assisting them in managing challenging cases and staying up to date on the latest evidence-based practices.
Foster a Healthy Environment: By working across different spheres—patients, staff, and the system—they contribute to systemic changes that benefit the entire school community.
