School health nursing is one of the "frontline" professional community nursing services. School nurses need both theoretical professional knowledge and practical skills. The tasks of school nurses are becoming increasingly important due to the changing social environment, changes in disease patterns, decreasing birth rates, and the increasing demands of today's customers. But the field of school health nursing enjoys a certain independence. In line with society's demands, the essential trend in school health nursing is specialization. Planned and well-arranged pre-service education is required to develop programs for school nurse specialists, and, more importantly, we need to return to the advancement system. Nurses working at schools need plenty of clinical, practical experience, ideally having completed in-service education at N3 level in a medical institution, so that they can bring their professional competence into play, and satisfy the demands of their work. In this way, the nurses work in medical institutions will still have opportunities to contribute their skills when they are elderly. This is a constructive and positive development for the nursing profession.
