Care of the Student With Special Healthcare Needs is a free resource that can assist school nurses in ensuring they are providing the most up-to-date, evidence-based care to children. Although the training module was developed to improve the care provided to Wisconsin children, the module can be accessed by school nurses and unlicensed assistive personnel (UAP) across the United States and internationally. School nurses in other states would need to review their state's nurse practice act and school district policies to evaluate which procedures they are allowed to delegate.

School nurses are responsible for providing and supervising school nursing services for children with complex health concerns. Given school nurses frequently practice in isolation and may have limited access to clinical practice changes, they can benefit from up-to-date, evidence-based resources. Additionally, the resources must account for the fact that the nursing procedures will be performed in the unique setting of a school building and in many cases, will be performed by school personnel who have limited formal education in health care. This article provides an overview of a newly developed, easy to use, online school nursing procedures website for school nurses and other school personnel.
