A study of current school nurse practice activities.
In this paper a survey of activities of school nurses will be described. A brief summary of the history of school nursing is included as an introduction to the analysis of the current activities of school nurses. Five current school nurse activity clusters are identified from findings of a study of activities: physical, supportive, educative, administrative, and clerical. The development and implementation of administrative skills are cited as major challenges for school nurses in the 1980s.
