Nurses will have their first look at a staffing tool which considers aspects of the school nurse role as defined in the School Nursing Framework, beyond care coordination. The tool will support conversations with districts around graduated expectations from school nursing in districts which have nurse to student ratios in excess of 1:750.
Communities of practice (CoP) are “groups of people who share a concern or a passion for something they do and learn how to do it better as they interact regularly” (Wenger, 1988).
To streamline our Communities of Practice, and with a focus on cohort mentoring, and in response to member requests, we have combined our existing monthly groups. We have made communication strategies more robust.
