Delaware school nurses are valued members of school teams and support student education through whole child wellbeing. School nurses follow state regulations and guidelines to best address the health and safety of all students in Delaware public schools.
School nurses provide:

  • Quality, direct nursing services for chronic and episodic conditions
  • Health screenings and referrals
  • Health information for students and staff
  • Care coordination for students with chronic health conditions
  • Health services management
  • Links to healthcare providers in the community
  • On-site health resources for students, families and staff

The Delaware School Nurse Manual is provided for Delaware school nurses, who are Registered Nurses licensed to practice in Delaware and working in a school setting.  The manual provides information, guidelines and resources for the Delaware school nurse.  It covers Delaware laws and regulations, school entry requirements, documentation, medication in schools, resources and additional information.  The Delaware School Nurse Manual replaces the School Nursing: Technical Assistance Manual.
