Nebraska School Health Conference

Certificates for approved continuing education experiences are issued at the end of each day with verified attendance. Participants must sign in for each session and return a completed evaluation to the planning committee. You will have a certificate for each day of this conference. If you are more than ½ hour late to a session you will not receive a CE certificate for that segment of the conference. No conflict of interest has been disclosed by any presenters or members of the planning committee for this program.

Be comfortable but dress in layers as room temperatures can vary.

Tuesday is School Nurse T-Shirt/Gear Day! Sport your favorite school nurse T-shirt or your school gear. Better yet, check out our 2023 conference apparel.

Selling apparel is one way we prevent regularly raising conference costs. You can purchase your 2023 conference apparel online here. The store is open from April 17 through May 8. There are six items to choose from, ranging in price from $20 to $40. Your purchases can be shipped to you for $6.95 or to Joslynne Stauss for free. Items shipped to Joslynne will be available for pickup at the conference in the vendor room (Loper North).

Extra items will be available for purchase at the conference with a card, Venmo, cash or check.

Small individual desserts, fruit and beverages will be available during the Sunday Social. A grab-and-go breakfast and lunch will be served both days as well as a snack during the Monday afternoon break. All food is served in Loper South.
