County Associations
County school nurse associations enable networking and sharing and sponsor professional development specifically targeting the needs of school nurses at the local level. Each county association establishes its own meeting and dues schedule. Representatives from each county are invited to attend the monthly general meeting of the New Jersey State School Nurses Association to share concerns and accomplishments. Activities of the county associations are featured on the NJSSNA website and electronic newsletter. Membership in the county association is separate from membership in NJSSNA and NASN.
