Enhancing school nurse visibility.

Full Abstract

The school nurse is in a powerful position in the school district, but only by expanding visibility efforts can it be a viable one. School nurses are viewed as "health experts" in their school districts. They need to continually fine-tune and expand their visibility, as well as to widen their circle of influence in the school district and its community-based partnerships. Feeling comfortable in giving school board presentations and participating in other highly visible activities will highlight and enhance the valuable services school nurses provide. School nurses must be visible to be perceived as a powerful influence for health in the school district.
