National Association of School Nurses Position Statement: Transition Planning for Students with Healthcare Needs
National Association of School Nurses; Wendy A. Doremus
Journal of School Nursing, v40 n4 p460-461 2024
It is the position of the National Association of School Nurses (NASN) that healthcare transition (HCT) planning and implementation for all students with healthcare needs should be a well-coordinated process that occurs whenever a student moves into, through, or out of a school setting. The continuation of safe, quality, equitable care for all students with healthcare needs is essential for supporting positive health and academic outcomes, so that all students have equal opportunities to attain their full potential. As a vital member of the interprofessional school-based team, the registered professional school nurse (hereinafter referred to as school nurse) is ideally situated to provide expertise, leadership, and care coordination for students during HCT (NASN, 2022).
