NASN Special Interest Groups: Their Growth and Development Through the Years

Abstract

Over the past 25 years, the roles of school nurses have been both expanding and specializing in public and non-public school settings. To help meet the everchanging and demanding challenges that specialized school nurses encounter in their unique settings, NASN embraced the idea that school nurses need a way to connect with colleagues working in similar practices. Thus, special interest groups (SIGs) were established, and the SIGs have become an integral part of NASN.
