CSNO School Nurse Academy
CSNO is has launched the next cohort of School Nurse Academies. The Academy is the result of the 2015 CSNO Strategic Planning efforts, where school nurses shared they needed professional learning support that could help navigate them through their initial years as a school nurse; until admitted into a school nurse credentialing program. According to a school nurse academy attendee, "I really liked that the class was so interactive. Because we are so often on our own in the school setting it was beneficially to have the opportunity to share experiences, knowledge and work together. The instructor has a wealth of information and it was so helpful to hear of her experiences and get her insight into the practice of school nursing." The School Nurse Academy is an 8 module (3 face to face; 5 online) hybrid professional learning opportunity designed by school nurses for school nurses. The Academy will be taught by experienced school nurses who will also serve as mentors and resource leaders. Contact Hours:
Provider approved by the California Board of Registered Nursing CEP#0426.

Strategic Planning efforts Launched
It was a busy mid-January weekend for CSNO Leaders, who worked on CSNO Finances, CSNO Conference Planning and CSNO Strategic Planning efforts. The CSNO Executive Board and Section President-Elects came together to work on Organizational next steps. CSNO's last Strategic Planning took place in 2014 and resulted in many organizational changes, which include, but are not limited:
*Increased face to face and online professional learning experiences for school nurses:
*Updated products;
*Increased linkages to organizations with similar goals;
*College professional learning credit for some CSNO experiences;
*Elimination of organizational costs that could be streamlined in an more efficient manner (elimination of CSNO downtown office; a $32,000 annual savings);
*Advocacy for general education school nursing LEA Medi-Cal billing;
*Continuation of CSNO Lobbyist;
*Organizational conversion to a 501c3; and
*Annual renewal at one-time for all members at affordable early-bird rates. These changes resulted in a 30% CSNO Membership increase. There is still significant work to be done. Many California school nurses do not belong to CSNO. It is our goal to show school nurses that belonging to your professional organization does make a difference in your professional school nursing practice. The group reconvenes following the 69th Annual CSNO Conference.
