A group of school nurses attending the innovation relay event at the NASN 2017 Annual Conference were asked to tackle the problem expressed by many school nurses: How can we increase the visibility and credibility of school nurses? The innovation relay allowed school nurses to look at the problem differently so that they could identify innovative solutions. This article shares more detail on each of the team's solutions and illustrates how school nurses can look at problems in a new light.
