School Nurse of the Year

Do you know a great nurse? Share all that she (he) does for students, faculty, and community by nominating that nurse for Texas School Nurse of the Year. What makes a great school nurse? High expectations for ourselves and our students, the ability to actively listen, energy to go the extra mile, knowing when to ask for help and where to seek it out, and a creative slant. Sound like someone you know? 

Congratulations 2022 School Nurse of the Year, Francis Luna, MSN, RN, NCSN - Region 12.
