Using Principles of Quality and Safety Education for Nurses in School Nurse Continuing Education
Rosenblum, Ruth K.; Sprague-McRae, Julie
Journal of School Nursing, v30 n2 p97-102 Apr 2014
School nurses require ongoing continuing education in a number of areas. The Quality and Safety Education for Nurses (QSEN) framework can be utilized in considering school nurses' roles and developing continuing education. Focusing on neurology continuing education, the QSEN framework is illustrated with the example of concussion management in athletes. QSEN strategies can stimulate change to the status quo and outline the knowledge, skills, and attitudes that need to be adapted. With their competencies and knowledge, professional school nurses can incorporate evidence-based practices in conjunction with input from health care providers and families to create high-quality care and positive outcomes for students.
