"Fast Facts for the School Nurse is a virtual compendium of situations that school nurses encounter in their practice. It will direct school nurses to the answers for many questions and to wiser counsel when a dilemma seems unsolvable. It is authored by a school nurse of publically acclaimed distinction who brings a lifetime of experience to these pages." - Lucille A. Joel, EdD, RN, FAAN Professor, College of Nursing Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey Newark, New Jersey This is a concise reference providing quick access to information busy school nurses use every day to perform their duties competently and efficiently. It is written for nurses who are transitioning to a school setting, yet has much to offer more experienced school nurses. The second edition has been substantially revised to address the Healthy People Initiatives 2020 to school age children and their families, and incorporate information about the push towards formal evaluation of school nurses. It discusses new technology and the effects of head trauma and other sports-related injuries on academic performance. A new chapter has been added, Top Ten Timely Topics which deals with issues like getting substitutes and prioritization of tasks for novice and substitute school nurses.
