    Hello and Happy New Year NASN Members!

    I am honored to share that I am a candidate for Vice President of the National Association of School Nurses (NASN).

    As school nurses, we are navigating a time of extraordinary complexity. We are supporting students with higher medical acuity, rising mental health needs, and increasing demands on our practice. I believe deeply in the power of school nursing to transform student health and success, and I am committed to elevating our role through strong advocacy, policy leadership, and meaningful support for nurses across the country.

    My vision centers on:

    • Acuity-driven staffing and workload equity

    • Legislation and funding that ensure every school has a qualified school nurse

    • Professional development and tools that empower nurses to meet today's challenges

    • A national voice that champions student well-being and the essential work of school nurses

    To learn more about my background, priorities, and commitment to this work, please visit my official NASN candidate page

    Thank you for your dedication to students, your passion for this profession, and the work you do every single day. I would be honored to earn your support.

    Please feel free to view a new year message HERE personally from me.

    Warmly,


    Tammy Jeffery, MSN, RN, NCPH
    Candidate for NASN Vice President
