RESCREENING
![Page 21: School nurse practices and recommendations for vision screening in Washington state](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022051316/56813919550346895da0c3e7/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
School Nurses are overworked! Vision screening is not the choke point – there is a
need overall for more support and caseload balance.
CONCLUSIONS
![Page 22: School nurse practices and recommendations for vision screening in Washington state](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022051316/56813919550346895da0c3e7/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Eliminate the requirement to rescreen before a referral if a registered RN conducted the fi rst screening.
Change the test used from Snellen to “current best practices as defined by the American Optometric Association” with an option to include other approved tests if the recommended test does not fi t the student needs.
Require the state to increase funding when it increases mandates.
Provide more vouchers for glasses.
