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.
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
