The National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine recently released The Future of Nursing 2020-2030: Charting a path to achieve health equity. The 2021 report emphasized the role of nursing in addressing social determinants of health and inequities, as well as the need for nurses at all levels to work to their full scope of practice. The report harmonizes with the prescribed scope of practice outlined in the National Association of School Nurses’ Framework for 21st Century School Nursing Practice. This article outlines how frontline school nurses, state affiliates, and school nurse leaders will adopt the recommendations in their practice and in the schools and communities they serve.

The purpose of this article is to demonstrate how the Framework for 21st Century School Nursing Practice™ can provide a structure for evaluation using the School Nursing: Scope and Standards of Practice (3rd ed.), thus allowing the school nurse and school nurse evaluators to gain a better understanding of school nursing practice. According to NASN’s Position Statement Supervision and Evaluation of the School Nurse, standards should be used to evaluate the clinical practice of school nurses. Our project accomplishes this integration of the Framework, the standards, and the evaluation of school nursing practice.

The National Association of School Nurses developed the Framework for 21st Century School Nursing Practice™ (Framework) to guide school nursing practice and help school nurses articulate their role to educators. Since its introduction, the Framework has been accepted and adopted by many. At the same time, several misunderstandings and misinterpretations of the Framework have come to light. The purpose of this article is to clarify the terminology in order to create a common understanding among practicing school nurses to be able to implement the Framework more fully and with integrity.

NASN’s Framework for 21st Century School Nursing Practice™ (the Framework) provides a graphic illustration of the key principles of professional school nursing practice, reflects NASN’s stance for evidence-based best practice and provides a focus when prioritizing school nursing activity. In order to ensure fidelity of the Framework and to provide professional development for school nurses, NASN is embarking on an exciting new project: Focus on the Framework, a series of five Continuing Nursing Education (CNE) modules, along with a certificate of proficiency in the Framework, which will be earned after the completion of all five modules and the successful completion of a culminating activity. We invite your feedback and suggestions as the certificate process is developed.

In June 2018, NASN begins a yearlong 50th-anniversary celebration. This article is the first in a series exploring the history, examining the present, and visioning the future of our organization. Part 1 provides a historical account of the first 25 years of the organization and uncovers the passion of our past leaders in promoting the profession of school nursing and creating a national unified voice. With its inception in the United States in 1902, school nurses seeking professional affiliation joined where they were welcome. Unfortunately, no single organization was open and willing to speak on behalf of all school nurses. Through partnerships, collaboration, advocacy, sacrifice, and unwavering determination, a group of school nurses leaders successfully birthed our organization. Yes, the 50th anniversary of NASN deserves a celebration!

School nurses are often the primary health professional promoting children’s health—and address not just individuals, but communities. This article, featuring the key principle of community/public health, is the first in a series focusing on The Framework for 21st Century School Nursing Practice™ and presents a case study on asthma and air quality issues comparing the more traditional individual approaches to health (labeled downstream and midstream) with population-level approaches (labeled upstream). Through collaboration with key community stakeholders, school nurses can successfully implement policies and programs to address social determinants of health and, in turn, improve the health of the entire community. As we look to advance school nursing and support best practices, concentrating on population-level, upstream approaches align with recommendations outlined in the Framework for 21st Century School Nursing Practice™.

The Framework for 21st Century School Nursing Practice™, created by the National Association of School Nurses (NASN), explains school nursing practice, providing guidance, organization, prioritization, and meaning. This is the second article in a series for The Framework for 21st Century School Nursing Practice. This article focuses on case management, one of the practice components in the principle of care coordination. Case management focuses on school nurse support of individual at-risk students and collaborative actions to reduce barriers to their academic success. This article will clarify how the terms care coordination and case management are used in context of the Framework and provide an example to help the reader apply the concept to practice. Washington’s School Nurse Case Management Program will serve as a model. The program outlines evidence for effective practice and shares practical examples of how school nurses can implement case management into their daily work. Any school nurse, no matter how large or small their workload, can provide case management.

There have been great examples of school nursing practice so far during the pandemic, which in turn have led to increase in workforce commissions. However, to truly effect change we need to grow the body of school nursing research and evidence, Sharon White explains
