  • EVERY STUDENT COUNTS - Data Deadline EXTENDED to September 15

    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:

    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.
