The deadline of January 31, 2020 is fast approaching for this unique contest to promote the important ways school nurses are promoting the NASN School Health Data Set Initiative – Every Student Counts!
Erin Maughan, PhD, MS, RN, PHNA-BC, FNASN, FAAN, NASN Director of Research sent out this Tweet, so of course, I wanted to help spread the word about this fun contest and to promote Every Student Counts! NASN wants to showcase how school nurses are promoting the importance of data in our practice.
This information is taken directly from the NASN website:
Data is important to advance school nursing. This is why NASN developed the data initiative: The National School Health Data Set: Every Student Counts! to help build capacity and understanding of school health data.
As part of this initiative we invite you to participate in a media contest by sharing ideas and ways you have promoted data. The goal is to identify several new materials (videos, infographics, or other mediums) that will be used to promote data use and NASN’s Every Student Counts! initiative. The unveiling of the grand prize entry will be on School Nurses Day in May.
Deadline for submissions: January 31, 2020, 11:59 p.m. Eastern
