May 8 marks National School Nurse Day, a special day to recognize the vital role school nurses play in promoting the health, safety, and well-being of students and school staff.

"School nurses are essential in providing care for students with chronic health conditions, injuries, and emergencies that may arise on school grounds. They also act as a bridge between the school and the student's home, often coordinating outside care. The impact of these professionals goes beyond the school environment. Investing in school nursing can save society more than twice the cost of preventative healthcare. School nurses care for the entire school population and benefit society as a whole."

"We appreciate the dedication and hard work provided by school nurses every single day! On behalf of PVSchools, we extend our heartfelt gratitude to all school nurses out there. Thank you!"
