Empowering School Health Nurses: A Collaborative Initiative.

An initiative aimed at empowering school health nurses to provide optimal care within School Health Suites with education and resources. The initiative is collaborative between academic nursing programs and the Baltimore City School system. By leveraging the expertise of doctoral-prepared nursing faculty and institutional resources, school health nurses can be better equipped to address the complex health needs of Baltimore City Schools students. The initiative will provide access to resources such as workshops on professional development, training sessions covering health disparities among the school-age population, and mentorship focusing on degree advancement. This model will provide a foundation for providing efficient healthcare support for school age children and foster advancement for school health nurses. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
