description Well-prepared school nurses are more likely to handle emergencies properly. Thus, assessing crisis management preparedness is important. In August 2014, a questionnaire was sent to 275 nurses in a large Texas school system to collect data about nurse and school characteristics, emergency frequency and management, and equipment availability. Completed surveys (201, 73%) were analyzed. Fisher’s exact test was used to evaluate comparisons among nurses’ confidence levels, school characteristics, emergencies, and medical emergency response plans (MERP). Logistic regression was used to estimate associations between characteristics and nurses reporting less confidence. Most respondents were experienced nurses. Shortness of breath was the most common event faced. Odds of less confidence were significantly higher among nurses with
