title: Clinical continuing education for school nurses.
abstract: Because of the increased presence of medically complex students in schools, school nurses need to maintain a high level of clinical expertise and continuing education must now include the technical and clinical aspects of care. The authors describe a unique continuing education program designed to update the theoretical knowledge and clinical skills of school nurses caring for students with respiratory disabilities. This report focuses on the development, implementation, and evaluation of a continuing education program with a specific clinical component.
