Welcome to the Alabama Association of School Nurses Website!
The 2008-2009 year is upon us and my theme as your President is Preparing School Nurses for a Challenging Future. New challenges and changes are on the horizon. There is always room for learning and growth. My hope is that our District Chairs will plan their workshops around how to better equip our dedicated school nurses. How can you be a part of these exciting times? Join AASN and get in touch with your District Chairman to see how you can help them. Please get familiar with our website and all it has to offer.

Definition of School Nursing
"School nursing is a specialized practice of professional nursing that advances the well being, academic success, and life-long achievement of students. To that end, school nurses facilitate positive student responses to normal development; promote health and safety; intervene with actual and potential health problems; provide case management services; and actively collaborate with others to build student and family capacity for adaptation, self-management, self-advocacy, and learning."
