Welcome Message from Lori S. Anderson, PhD, RN, CPNP-PC - Creator of eSchoolCare


Announcing the Availability of eSchoolCare!

After years of research and development, eSchoolCare will be available for School Nurses nationwide during the week of April 15th.

The inspiration for eSchoolCare came from my experience with school nursing in research and in practice. My mother was a school nurse and I practiced as a school nurse before earning a PhD from the University of Wisconsin-Madison School of Nursing.

I now work as an assistant professor at UW’s School of Nursing and my team and I developed eSchoolCare after researching school nurses’ need for additional support to care for children with chronic conditions in a school setting.

We are very pleased to announce the availability of our new, intuitively organized, research-based and field tested resource for school nurses. In this blog, during the next few months, we will provide more information about eSchoolCare - how it was developed, how it will help nurses in their practice and how it will help students in the classroom.

We are also honored to have guest school nurses contribute to our blog, to share their experiences with eSchoolCare and in their school nursing practice. We invite you to share and contribute to this blog and to contact us to learn more about joining our community.

Thank you,
