At the conference, presentations were given that brought information to 350 school nurses who attended that will help them “Make the Grade” and give the best care to the students of Texas Schools and thus help them to be healthier and better able to learn and not only gain knowledge to help be a better School Nurse, but will also discover other areas for collaboration.
