Almost from the beginning of formal college health programs in the second half of the 19th century, college health nurses were there to care for students in college and university settings. By the end of the 20th century, the role of college health nurses had evolved with the nursing field in general, but with enough unique features for the American Nurses' Credentialing Center to recognize college health nursing as a professional subspecialty and administer the first College Health Nurse Certification examinations. In addition, new nurse practitioner programs provided practicing nurses with more independence, and their duties continued to expand beyond care of the sick to include health promotion, administrative, and teaching activities. As a result of these changes, college health nurses now play a larger role in the life of students and promoting a healthy campus community than ever before in the history of college health.
自 19 世纪后半叶正式开展高校卫生保健项目以来,高校卫生保健护士一直负责照顾高校学生的健康。到 20 世纪末,高校卫生保健护士的角色已经随着护理领域的发展而演变,但仍具有足够的独特特征,使美国护理认证中心认可高校卫生保健护理为专业亚专科,并管理第一次高校卫生保健护士认证考试。此外,新的执业护士项目为执业护士提供了更大的独立性,他们的职责也继续扩大,从照顾病人扩展到促进健康、行政管理和教学活动。由于这些变化,高校卫生保健护士在学生生活和促进健康校园社区方面的作用比高校卫生保健史上的任何时候都更大。
