The Professional Standards Board (PSB) is proposing a change in the educational requirement for a public school nurse as listed in the 14 DE Admin Code 1582 School Nurse. Currently, a public school nurse must have: “Bachelor degree in nursing or school nursing from an accredited college or university.” The proposed change permits a public school nurse to have a bachelor degree in majors other than nursing   Delaware School Nurse Association does not support the proposed changes in the education requirements for School Nurses. DSNA strongly recommends that the Professional Standards Board maintain the educational requirement for a public school nurse to have a bachelor degree in nursing or school nursing from an accredited college or university.   Please contact members of the Professional Standards Board and state why Delaware students need a school nurse with a Bachelor degree in nursing or school nursing.Issue:
