School nursing: the essential reference

"This textbook was developed out of need. As a practicing school nurse for more than 25 years and adjunct instructor at the university level for the past 20 years, I have witnessed firsthand the changes in today's school-age child. These many changes drove me to edit a comprehensive reference, which had to include basic information needed by every school nurse, as well as provide insight into emerging issues in childhood, society, and education to help prepare future school nurses for the challenges ahead and assure their continuing professional growth"--
