School Nurse Educational Resources

As a school nurse, you have one of the most important jobs in your school district. You serve as a bridge, linking students to physical, mental, and emotional health resources and support they need to keep them healthy and ready to learn. Arkansas Children’s wants to support the incredible work you do and the students you care for by making available a variety of health resources through this webpage. We hope that these resources help keep you informed, successful, and confident in all of your work to care for your students. Arkansas Children’s considers you one of our best Champions for Children!

What other health-related resources do you need?

We welcome your suggestions about additional physical, mental, and emotional health resources that you would like to see included on this webpage. Let us know by emailing SNResources@archildrens.org.
