Abstract | School nurses are well positioned to assess, intervene, and evaluate efforts to positively impact students who are overweight or obese. The purpose of this qualitative, descriptive study was to explore the experiences of school nurses providing care to children living with overweight and obesity. Data were collected through face-to-face, tape-recorded, in-depth, open-ended interviews with 10 school nurses from rural areas of North Carolina working with minority and low-income children in the public school setting. The text of the interviews was transcribed and analyzed into codes, categories, and themes. Three themes and eight subthemes were identified. The three themes were identified as (1) "jumping hurdles," (2) "seize the moment," and (3) "moral distress." The findings of this study can be used to provide a better understanding of the experiences of school nurses caring for children with overweight and obesity that is necessary for planning successful school-based interventions.
