AR School Nurse Roles and Responsibilities- Updated 2021
Nursing Delegation in the School Setting
Nursing delegation in the school setting is the assignment by the school nurse – not a school administrator – to a competent unlicensed individual (also called unlicensed assistive personnel [UAP]) the performance of a selected nursing task in a selected situation for an individual student. The school nurse facilitates the UAP training, evaluation of UAP competence, and provides for ongoing supervision of the UAP and the student’s health outcomes. The nursing process can never be delegated.
