Call re School Nursing & Health PromotionThis is a featured page

The International School Health Network and our partners are calling for editors, writers, contributors, reviewers and sponsors to develop a series of webinars, wiki-based summaries and other resources that define and describe the roles, training and other aspects of nurses working in preventive health care and health promotion with and within schools.

The development of this series of topics is being guided by a group of experts and practitioners This group of experts and practitioners includes Yvette Fleisser and Carol MacDougal of the community Health Nurses Association of Canada.


As with other subjects in this web site, it is expected that each topic in the list below will eventually, over the course of several months, have developed a Glossary Term (1-2 paragraphs), an Encyclopedia Entry (1-2 pages),
start a Bibliography or Toolbox that lists web-linked research articles, reports and resources such as educational programs, training tools and policy documents and could start on some Handbook Sections (10-15 pages with sub pages for case studies). The summaries on topics could eventually form part of an e-book that could be prepared from materials in this knowledge exchange program.

The following list of potential topics are relevant to the primary health care and health promotion roles of nurses working in and with schools. (Note: This list of topics is also open for amendment). There may be some topics on this list with active links to "rough draft", "first draft" or "first editions" because they had been started or adapted with permission from another project or source. The topics are organized within the outlines we use within this encyclopedia. Where appropriate, we have added links to other summaries in this Encyclopedia that relate to these topics. Just follow the items listed under "Also see".
Individuals and organizations interested in becoming a writer, contributor or sponsor for any one or more of these topics should contact dmccall@internationalschoolhealth.org

The deadline for responding to this call is open, because the list of topics is lengthy and the topics on the list are open for continued discussion.

To support of international discussions, we have started a joint Twitter account that can be followed by anyone or posted on any web site.
The "widget" displayed on the right shows the latest posts to the joint Twitter account (www.twitter.com/shinsider_nurse). Follow us if you have a Twitter account, or visit this page often for the latest news and research. If you have a web page or web site devoted to this topic, you can display this same Twitter widget, with size and colour adjusted for your web site. For more information, contact dmccall@internationalschoolhealth.org

We have also started a wiki-based collection (Bibliography/Toolbox) of research, reports and resources on school nursing and health promotion in this web site. This web site is wiki-based, so anyone can add to the collection by using the Easy Edit tool found at the top of the pages. As well, if your web site is focused on school nursing issues, you can also embed this collection directly into your web site. To see how this can be done, visit our sample web page here. For more information, contact dmccall@internationalschoolheralth.org
