title: Nursing diagnosis as a framework for college health nursing protocols.
abstract: Standardized nursing protocols in college health must facilitate cost-effective student healthcare, allow nurses to function within the legislated scope of practice of their state, and still address the health needs of the patient population. Nursing diagnosis provides the framework for a protocol model that does all of this, as well as providing professional growth opportunities for college health nurses and nursing.
