US School Nurse working abroad


Does anyone know if there are standard of practice and/or other legal documents that can guide a US school nurse working at a US based international school abroad? This school does not have any protocols in place and I would like to make one up. Any ideas or suggestions? Thanks.

Default Re: US School Nurse working abroad
The National Association of School Nurses has some published guidelines although they are not written specifically for international schools. Putting "school nurse" in google and you'll come up with helpful links. We just adopted stuff from what we found. CDC also has some travel sites that help with recommended immunizations. I'll be leaving Dhaka after this year. Let me know if you have any openings.

Are you at one of these schools?

• American International School of Costa Rica
• Country Day School
• Lincoln School
• Marian Baker School
