Throughout the pandemic, school nurses focused on COVID-related tasks and, as a result, were pulled from many duties that require attention and maintenance. Many school nurses say they are burned out after taking on additional responsibilities related to mitigation strategies and protocols, contact tracing, and addressing indirect health consequences of the pandemic, such as delays in kids getting other critical vaccines or soaring mental health concerns. To address this, the Minnesota Department of Health partnered with the Minnesota Service Cooperatives to build capacity on a regional basis.
