Who should administer school nursing services?

C.W. Humes

American Journal of Public Health, 1975, vol. 65, issue 4, 394-396

Abstract: Administration and supervision of the school nursing program should come from health services. This means first, that the preferred jurisdiction emanates from the board of health and, secondly, that the actual management and supervision of school nursing practice falls to someone from the health community, i.e., a supervising school nurse or a school physician. In such an arrangement there will tend to be less domination by educational managers, specifically, school principals. While it would be naive to assume that the school principal will ever cease to be a major factor in the determination of the school nursing role, the opportunities for intervention and direction will be considerably less in the proposed administrative arrangement.
