Nurses in the 21st-century are expected to be data and information literate and proficient in data management. Nurses graduating from baccalaureate programs must be able to use computers and information systems and apply data and evidence to inform practice. Those competencies are also essential for the entire nursing workforce. That puts the onus on school nurses, school nurse supervisors, school districts, and state affiliates to take responsibility for comprehensive data and information literacy professional development. Fortunately, the National Association of School Nurses (NASN) has anticipated the needs of the membership. NASN included data and information capacity building as a part of The National School Health Data Set: Every Student Counts!, a national standardized data set and data collection initiative.

This has been updated in the online issue: Step Up & Be Counted! (Step Up!) is a joint initiative of the National Association of School Nurses (NASN) and the National Association of State School Nurse Consultants (NASSNC). The aim of Step Up! is for all school nurses across the nation to collect and submit specific, uniform data points for all their students. The program was initiated in 2014. In the second year of data collection, 2015-16, school nurses from more states contributed data, and many states reported on a larger number of school nurses reporting data. This article reports the progress we have made in data collection and reporting in year two. Keywords: Step Up & Be Counted!; National data set; Data collection; Informatics; School nursing

The primary goal of this study was to examine young adults’ perspectives about the effects of their food allergies (FAs) on their social lives from school-age to young adulthood. Young adults aged 18–21 ( n = 10) at the University of South Carolina were interviewed. A qualitative descriptive method to find themes and commonalities from transcribed interviews was used for data analysis. Identified themes were (1) feeling different and being isolated, (2) strategies for managing feeling different and being isolated, (3) strategies for managing safety, and (4) acceptance of myself and by others. School-age children attributed the school lunch allergy table as contributing to social isolation. Additionally, participants described feeling different and concerns about safety. Strategies to mitigate those experiences were identified by participants. Implications for children with FAs, their parents, school nurses, and other education and health professionals who work with children are presented.

Medical Needs

During the past two decades, financial access to health care has improved for the very young, with emphasis on immunizations and medical care facilities for infants and mothers. Well-woman mandates, such as cancer detection and treatment programs, have improved the health of adult women. Even efforts to meet the needs of an ever-growing elderly population have improved. In contrast to expansions and improvements in care for the aforementioned populations, among others, there is still a population whose unmet medical needs have grown exponentially: school-age youth. Morbidity and mortality for todays school-age children are linked most often to complex behavior patterns and psychosocial risk factors. Prevention and treatment of these patterns and factors often require a multidisciplinary approach using educational and case management strategies; social, mental health, dental, and nutritional services; and traditional medical services. In recognition of the school as the focus of many communities and in recognition of this population's disproportionate drain on medical expenditures, current and projected, there has been a push for more monies to be spent on developing integrated school-based and school-linked clinics. These clinics should focus on meeting community needs and should emphasize coordination and cooperation between private and public agencies. If such efforts are not continued into the 21st century, this least-served population, which on the surface seems to be the healthiest, will be a major factor in the rising cost of care, particularly because they lacked a medical home while they were school age.
