Ashland's school nurse program provided excellent preparation for my current role as a school nurse. The asynchronous nature of the coursework provided the necessary flexibility for me to access the learning content outside of my typical work day, but the quick response time to any questions from my instructors provided support when I needed it in the form of questions and assistance.
I feel fortunate to have found my calling as a school nurse and now oversee the health services for two elementary schools with over 1100 students. It is rewarding for me to be able to see the profound impact that school nurses have on the health and well-being of students, health education, attendance, support for students with chronic conditions that allow them to access the curriculum, and the value of collaboration with other school personnel to best support our students and their ability to learn.
