The Bradley University School Nurse Conference is an all-day conference aimed at helping the professional development of school nurses. The conference will help school nurses identify new evidence-based practices or resources that can be used to promote student health and academic success. During the conference, we will describe evidence-based nursing interventions for students with chronic health conditions. The information provided in this conference will help you apply and use new knowledge to deliver culturally competent care in school and develop a plan to implement change using interprofessional collaboration to benefit all students in the region.
