Lynn Wheeler, MSN, RN, NCSN

Lynn enthusiastically promoted national school nurse certification through her work in New Mexico. She promoted the New Mexico House Bill 195 which ensured a statewide stipend be paid to all NCSNs along with codifying a higher base salary for those holding the NCSN. This has been crucial in ensuring that schools can compete with hospitals for talented nurses
