Ethical challenges for school nurses during COVID-19

School nurses balance ethical challenges with the moral responsibility to students and the public health of the school community during a global pandemic. This balance reveals the critical role of the school nurse.

School nurses must use their voices and demand change;school systems have a moral responsibility to all stakeholders. © The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG 2022.
