Abstract
The purpose of this article is to introduce Schwartz Rounds as a means for school nurses to foster their personal wellbeing by sharing their experiences. Nurse panelists openly discuss their journeys, followed by facilitated small-group conversations led by mental health professionals. To address the unique challenges of school nurses during the COVID-19 pandemic, the New Jersey Nursing Emotional Well-Being Institute initiated virtual Schwartz Rounds. New Jersey State School Nurses Association leaders joined as panelists to discuss the theme of hope for the upcoming school year. Schwartz Rounds prove highly effective in preserving and enhancing school nurses’ mental health and wellbeing, allowing them to maintain their vital work while caring for themselves and their school communities. This approach builds community among school nursing professionals, fostering connections, and providing mutual support to combat isolation.
