School nurses across the United States have the major responsibility of being the bridge of communication between students, parents. and healthcare providers (Wahl et al. 2015, 97).

This conflict can delay the decisive treatment of a medical condition, and according to a recent study can pose a real danger to the student’s health (Boyce et al., 2010; Carlisle et a., 2010; Fleischer et al., 2012; Nowak-Wegrzyn, 2012b).
