State Requirements for School Nurses

In browsing through the state by state requirements for nurses in this list [http://www.nasbe.org/healthy_schools/hs/bytopics.php?topicid=2130] I found that there is a lot of variation in what states believe are acceptable for nursing requirements. Some already have a minimum standard policy that school nurses must have a BSN or ideally RN certification, while others say that a high school diploma and state certifications are enough qualification to treat children. What I found more interesting was that the National Organization for School Nurses -- which also has its own recognized certification exam -- also states that applicants are required to have at least BSN degree certification here [http://www.nasn.org/RoleCareer/PlanningaCareerinSchoolNursing]. On the surface, it seems to me as if the guest speaker's thoughts about all school nurses being licensed nurses across the country would not be that difficult to accomplish so long as it would not mean currently employed nurses being out of a job by the policy.
