The Mission of the Rhode Island Certified School Nurse-Teachers Organization

 
To empower Certified School Nurse-Teachers through networking, advocacy and professional development to enable students to achieve their optimal level of health and academic success. 

Our Vision is to raise the awareness of the professional contribution of Certified School Nurse-Teachers.

This web site was established to provide current information about school nursing and school health to school nurses and the general public.

We invite your questions and comments.  Feel free to contact us for information regarding school health issues.

LEGISLATIVE  ALERT !!

Please contact your State Representative and State Senator to request that they vote in support of H5797 and companion bill S546.  If passed this measure would require the department of health to provide wallet license cards to health care providers rather than the electronic version only.

 Also, please remain in contact with your State legislators and request they oppose any attempt during the final days of the legislative session to repeal our certification.

 Thank you,

Alice Brady and Deb Svitil
