Colorado Rural School Nurses:
I am forwarding an email from Wendy Niskanen, the NASN Director for Oregon. Wendy is an advocate for rural nursing and is asking for Colorado's input. If you are a school nurse employed in a rural community, please consider joining the focus group.
I want to invite you to a monthly Rural School Nursing Focus Group, on the 4th Wednesday of the month at 3:00 pm pst (6:00 est). The NASN School Nurse Workforce Study provides data about rural disparities in access to school nursing. This begs deeper conversations around the causes and effects of those disparities, the unique challenges facing rural school nurses, and potential supports for rural school nurse practice. Please encourage nurses who practice in rural areas of your state to join in this conversation.
Register for the ZOOM meeting HERE.
Thanks,
Wendy
