    The informatin on this website is for informational purposes only.  The New York Statewide School Health Services Center has made every attempt to ensure that the information and resources reflect best practice in the field of school nursing.

    While this page contains recommendations that represent best practice, the professional school nurse must be the practitioner to determine the appropriateness of care delivered to each individual student in the unique situation in which they practice and in accordance with guidance from their school health services administration.
