The Oregon School Nurses Association (OSNA) advocates for the health and success of all children through equitable access to school nursing services. OSNA is the only state association organized by and for Oregon school nurses. We support school nurses and all they do to maintain a healthy environment for our children.

OSNA Mission: To improve the health status of children and youth and support their education by promoting more effective school nursing services.

OSNA Vision: The school nurse is the expert voice for optimal, equitable student health.

If you are a nurse working in a school, please join OSNA and become an active and informed member!

School nursing, a specialized practice of nursing, protects and promotes student health, facilitates optimal development, and advances academic success. School nurses, grounded in ethical and evidence-based practice, are the leaders who bridge health care and education, provide care coordination, advocate for quality student-centered care, and collaborate to design systems that allow individuals and communities to develop their full potential. Adopted by the NASN Board of Directors February 2017.
