It is the position of the National Association of School Nurses (NASN) that the registered professional school nurse (hereinafter referred to as school nurse) is the school staff member who has the knowledge, skills, and statutory authority to fully meet the healthcare needs of students with diabetes in the school setting. Diabetes management in children and adolescents requires complex daily management skills (American Association of Diabetes Educators [AADE], 2016). Health services must be provided to students with diabetes to ensure their healthcare needs are met; requirements of relevant federal and state laws are met; and they can fully participate in school and school sponsored events (AADE, 2016). Throughout childhood and adolescence, the student who has diabetes continuously moves through transitions toward increasing levels of independence and self-management (American Diabetes Association [ADA], 2016), requiring various levels of supervision or assistance to perform diabetes care tasks in school. Students who lack diabetes management experience or cognitive and developmental skills must have assistance with their diabetes management during the school day, as determined by nursing assessment and as outlined in the IHP (Wyckoff, Hanchon, & Gregg, 2015). Diabetes is listed as the third most common chronic health condition that impacts approximately one in 433 children and adolescents in the United States (Pettitt et al., 2014). The school nurse is the most appropriate staff member in the school to fully meet the healthcare needs of students and should be the key coordinator and care provider for the student who has diabetes (ADA, 2016).
