Nationally, many adolescents remain at risk for unintended pregnancies and sexually transmitted infections. School nurses can be leaders and change agents in their schools. This article shares the journey of a school nurse in Maine, who used evidence-based data to develop support from administration and key stakeholders to successfully advocate for a needed policy change. That support and advocacy led to a new "Safer Sex" policy.
