School nurse: a profession that combines patient care, listening, and education.

Being available whenever needed while also serving as a long-term health educator for students: this is the dual mission—often a challenge to balance—of the 6,100 school nurses. Mabrouk Nekaa, a school nurse at two schools in Firminy (Loire), emphasizes the importance of supporting students who are in great distress. It involves teamwork with the doctor and other professionals. It is a multifaceted role that combines providing care, listening, and educating students, as well as training student nurses.
