The Northeastern University School Health Institute, in collaboration with the Massachusetts Department of Public Health School Health Unit, will coordinate and provide quality, professional education programs to enhance school nursing practice throughout the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. These offerings will provide information allowing school nurses and other school health professionals to manage the increasingly complex health, medical, behavioral and psycho-social issues facing our multi-cultural school-aged population.

Through our programming, we will:

• Offer innovative educational and leadership opportunities for school nurses to expand their ability to deliver integrated, collaborative student health services
• Offer programs that allow school nurses to earn continuing education credits CEU's (nursing contact hours) to fulfill state nursing licensure and DESE certification requirements
• Provide varied programming to meet the professional development needs of school health professionals as indicated by an annual school nurse educational needs assessment

Conference Suggestions

• All programs must be registered for and paid for on line... we do not take cash, checks or Purchase Orders.
• Always bring a sweater...temperature in conference rooms varies greatly! Conference rooms tend to be cooler rather than warmer.
• We do have attendees with allergies...not wearing perfume is helpful at conferences since we are in one room together.
• Programs start promptly, please be on time. We always end on time or a little early, please plan to stay for the whole time as a courtesy to the speakers.
• Enjoy!
