School nurse administrators increasingly express concerns over the availability of substitute school nurses with return to in-person learning after the height of the COVID-19 pandemic. While healthcare staffing concerns and shortages are not unique to the school setting, the increasing health acuity of the student population, delegation principles, and staffing models complicate the issue. Traditional methods of covering absences may no longer suffice. In this article, five school nurse administrators share strategies, comparing pre-pandemic to current day facilitation of providing coverage for the absences of their healthcare staff.

Every nurse will be asked to write a letter of recommendation during their career. It is a privilege to be invited to write a letter of recommendation. A well-written letter of recommendation can make or break a stellar individual's chances of receiving the recognition they deserve or getting the job they want. Some find the prospect of writing a letter of recommendation intimidating, however, writing one does not have to be daunting. In this article, we will share a formula you can use to write a succinct, data-driven, and effective letter of support.

Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is an umbrella term for two chronic and recurrent digestive conditions, Crohn's disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC). Both are characterized by chronic inflammation of the gastrointestinal tract but not caused by infection or other identifiable causes. Childhood IBD often leads to a more extensive disease and a more aggressive course than adult-onset disease. Since children spend a lot of time at school, children with IBD may experience symptoms while at school. As a result, school nurses play a crucial role in identifying and managing students with IBD within their school or school district. It is important for a school nurse to understand the etiology, symptoms, and management of IBD to provide management of care at school.

Abdominal pain and discomfort are common reasons students visit the school health office. Abdominal pain, in children, may be related to gastrointestinal conditions such as celiac disease (CD) or disorders of gut-brain interaction (DGBIs). Both CD and DGBIs, formerly known as functional abdominal pain disorders, are both prevalent in the pediatric population. Manifestations, presentation, and management of these disorders overlap and will be reviewed in this article. Due to their chronic nature, school nurses should be aware of both the management and complications associated with CD and DGBIs. Dietary recommendations, including the gluten-free and low-fermentable oligosaccharides, disaccharides, monosaccharides, and polyols (FODMAPS) diet, will be presented as part of the management of the disorders.
