Bridging Healthcare and Education
School nurses serve a pivotal role that bridges health care and education so students are safe, healthy, and ready to learn.
SCCSD school nurses bridge health care and education by:
- Assessing and evaluating the health needs of students and school staff
- Providing health education and counseling

- Providing staff training for health services
- Following direct specialized health care procedures
- Providing first aid
- Implementing and monitoring student compliance with state immunization requirements
- Providing vision screenings
- Serving as a community resource liaison
- Processing medical billing
- Providing school staff support
School nurses are a specialty branch of professional nursing. Sioux City Community School nursing services are delivered by eight Professional Registered Nurses licensed by the Iowa Board of Nursing.
