Abstract
A school nurse continuing education program was developed by School of Nursing faculty at an East Texas university, providing school nurses with documented competence in nursing skills focused on equitable health outcomes. The 8 hr School Nurse Boot Camp program consisted of a keynote address on local pediatric health topics and a series of 30-min speed simulations focused on mental and physical health issues. A total of 62 school nurses attended the three boot camp offerings during the 2023/2024 academic school year and represented a student population of 78,275. Participants indicated satisfaction with the event and interest in future continuing education opportunities. The boot camp event provides a local continuing education offering, a record of competency for school nurses, and a regional partnership between school nurses, School of Nursing faculty, and Educational Service Center personnel.
