Our Mission
School Nursing is
a specialty within nursing with emphasis on wellness and prevention
through health promotion and education.
Rhode Island
Certified School Nurse Teachers have the professional education and
expertise necessary to function successfully in the inseparable complex
systems of health and education.
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.
================================================================
BOARD POSITIONS ARE AVAILABLE
There are several open board
positions for the coming school year. We are looking for
representation of school nurse teachers from a variety of districts.
Some of the positions require less time than others, so they
might fit into your schedule. If you are interested, please email
Linda Twardowski as soon as possible.
================================================================
RETIREES
If you know of any RICSNT members who are retiring this year from your districts, please email their names to Diane Martin.
