Donna Mazyck: School Nursing as A Foundation of Healthy Schools

The pandemic has shown many school districts how important school nurses are to a successful school district. Despite everyone knowing about school nursing, many educators don’t realize all that school nurses do for students on any given day.

In this episode, Donna Mazyck, the Executive Director of the National Association of School Nurses, shares her own experiences as a school nurse and the real impact school nurses have on students. Donna further shares how district leaders can fund school nursing through health care funding instead of education funding.
