Abstract

SSNCs provide statewide nursing leadership to ensure effective school nursing services, develop and promote quality standards, and foster a better understanding regarding the role of the school nurses and the relationship between students' health and their ability to learn (NASSNC, 2008). SSNCs use the nursing process to identify goals and plan interventions for meeting those goals. The interventions implemented by SSNCs are state-specific and are dependent upon assessment findings and available resources. Currently 40 states employ SSNCs. States use a variety of funding resources to secure the services of SSNCs (Taliaferro, 2011).
