COVID-19 Reference Home


NASN’s COVID-19 Reference contains condensed information and evidence-based references and resources designed to assist school nurses in responding to the COVID-19 pandemic as they formulate nursing judgment and participate in planning and policy development.

Content on this site is organized into the topics listed below. Click on a topic to see related subtopics. Each topic page also includes links to resources shared by school nurses on our SchoolNurseNet community. Resources shared on the SchoolNurseNet community are only viewable by NASN members, and posting of and use of these resources are governed by the SchoolNurseNet Code of Conduct.

This reference is not intended to provide clinical standards or guidelines. The school nurse is responsible for complying with applicable federal, state, and local laws, regulations, ordinances, executive orders, policies, and any other applicable sources of authority, including any applicable standards of practice.
