Who is MASNRN?
We are school nurses, researchers and those in the public health sector working together to further the practice of school nursing through research.
About Us
We are over 60 school nurses, researchers, and public health nurses interested in the advancement of the knowledge and science of school nursing practice. Our Board of Directors, along with the subcommittees (Finance, Public Relations, Education, Membership, Website, Newsletter/Outreach, Opportunities for Research), oversee our strategic plan of education about research, conducting research and dissemination of research findings.
Our Mission
MASNRN is a practice based research network comprised of a representative, collaborative group of professional school nurses and nurse academicians. Its members believe that students need and deserve high quality school nursing care to help attain their full academic potential. This requires that school nurses embrace evidence-based practice. MASNRN conducts research and uses translational research to support and improve student health outcomes and the efficacy of school nursing care.
