Hello all!

TSNO has extended our registration deadline until Friday, October 25, at 5 pm. This will help our members and guests who have experienced delays with their school's Business Office. 

As a reminder, at this late stage credit card payment is required, and transaction fees will apply. If you have any questions, reach out to Becca Harkleroad at executivedirector.tsno@gmail.com

We hope you can join us in Frisco this year. Our themes is: School Nurses: Cultivating Healthy Schools. We are stronger together!

NASN wants to hear from you! Your participation in their Data Set Initiative will help NASN understand the current school nursing landscape and prioritize efforts for improving the practice of school nursing. Data drives decisions - this is a great opportunity for you to speak up for school nurses! 

Please submit your 2023-24 school year data in the following categories:

• Health Clinic Visits / Dispositions
• Student Demographics and Health Clinic Staffing
• Chronic Health Conditions

Not sure if you have all the answers? That's OK! Fill in the sections you know and mark the others N/A. Please do no put a zero (0) in any field unless you collected information in that area and the answer was zero (0).

Responses should be either at the district (nurse leader enters data for the entire district) or campus level (each campus nurse submits their own information and answers 'district' questions with campus info). 

Data helps build bridges that connect school nursing to the rest of the healthcare system. For more information, including FAQs and definitions of key terms used in the research, please visit NASN/s Every Student Counts webpage.

We are delighted to announce the appointment of Becca Harkleroad, MPH, RN, NCSN, as the new Executive Director of the Texas School Nurses Organization, effective February 1st.
