School Nursing: A Comprehensive Text

By Janice A. Selekman

Produced in cooperation with the National Association of School Nurses, this text includes comprehensive coverage of the multiple facets of school nursing--from the foundations of practice and the roles and functions of a school nurse through episodic and chronic illness and behavioral issues, to legal issues and leading and managing within school settings.

Written and edited by school nurses and pediatric experts, it features real-world-tested, best practices based on evidence and experience. There's content here that you won't find in other books, such as health assessments, individualized health plan development, mental health conditions including adolescent depression, contemporary legal issues, and current policy statements essential to school nursing.

"I recently started working as a school nurse and find this text invaluable. I have used this as a reference for many situations that I have dealt with. I would highly recommend to anyone new to the school nursing field."
--Amazon Reviewer

"Thorough and comprehensive text covering everything I need to know about school nursing. Great resource and I highly recommend it for any school nurse!"
--Amazon Reviewer

"The first edition of this text...was included in the 2006 American Journal of Nursing Books of the Year. This 2019 edition surely meets and surpasses that and is highly recommended to all nurses in the fields of pediatric and adolescent health." --Anita Caitlin, Journal of Pediatric Surgical Nursing

No School Nurse should be without it!

This is a book that every School Nurse should have. It is a constant resource for your everyday practice. The book is very large, but there is so much information in it, that I can't see cutting anything out to reduce the size. If you are a school nurse or even thinking about becoming a school nurse, this is a must have!

School Nursing Comprehensive Text

An excellent resource text for school nursing - very extensive and well written with the most up to date information regarding the history and practice of school nursing.

A must-have for every school nurse!

Had been reading the hype about this book coming out and could not wait to get a copy. Did get it here for a little less that list price but what a deal. The most comprehensive text to date on School Nursing. A must have for every school nurse without a doubt. And this author is publishing a School Nurse Certification Review that is due out in July 2008, cannot wait to search for it here to save some dough!
