Abstract

School health is a specialty practice of nursing positioned at the intersection of public health and population health. This article discusses the redesign of a program’s curriculum with the hope of advancing and elevating the practice of school nursing. The redesign is based on NASN’s Framework for 21st Century School Nursing Practice and is the result of a New Jersey Nursing Initiative grant awarded to a trio of adjunct faculty from Rutgers University Camden in July 2016.
