School nurses have a unique position within the schools that allows them to create and maintain a healthy environment for students and staff. Developing IHPs or EAPs allows the nurse to specifically address any health concerns for students in their buildings. It important for the school nurse to always be involved in the special needs plan meetings and informed of medical conditions to ensure that proper and adequate care is being given to each student requiring attention.
