Hospitals and healthcare systems have nursing informaticists who contribute to quality patient care and safety by managing data and facilitating the use of technology. Schools typically do not employ nurses specifically in positions labeled as nursing informaticists, though the role is critical in the schools. This article highlights the subspecialty of nursing informatics within the school nurse role. Three school nurses will share their use of nursing informatics skills to optimize student health.

This study investigated the origin and implementation of school nursing in New York City, using traditional historical methods with a social history framework. The intent of this research was to produce a comprehensive historical analysis of school nursing at the turn of the 20th century in order to provide a historical framework to promote the work of school nurses today. Understanding the core fundamental concepts of school nursing from its origins and the significance of the emergence of community support for the role of the school nurse at the turn of the 20th century can inform current policy to back school nursing and school health today.

Evaluation of one's school nurse practice is one standard in the school nurse's scope and standards of professional practice. The Virginia School Nurse Institute Partnership (SNIP) identified the need to develop a concise self-evaluation tool that school nurses and their nurse and non-nurse employers could use to appropriately document a school nurse's practice. The purpose of this article is to provide a self-evaluation tool that the school nurse and his or her employers can use to evaluate professional school nurse practice.

The effect on students from the COVID-19 pandemic, violence related to racism, and loss of customary school routines may cause loss of both school connection and a sense of belonging. School nurses can positively influence student belonging and school connection as they encounter students throughout in-person school and virtual school environments. School nurses build connections with students whom they know and outreach to students whom they identify as vulnerable in the areas of belonging and school connectedness. With a mind-set of the Framework for 21st Century School Nursing Practice and in collaboration with a school team implementing a multitiered system of support, school nurses intentionally outreach and cultural sensitivity to grow positive school climate that benefits students.

Review
Quality school nursing practice should be evidence-based. However registered nurses in autonomous school nursing practice have limited capacities to access, synthesize, and implement the best evidence into practice. Clinical guidelines are important tools to reduce barriers to evidence-based practice (EBP) and support the delivery of high-quality school nursing care. The purpose of this article is to outline what EBP clinical guidelines are, are not, and why they matter.

School nurses play a vital role in the lives of children and are guided by The National Association of School Nurses' and its five major principles. School nurses practice independently and are often the sole healthcare provider at their designated schools, requiring them to be accomplished clinicians utilizing evidence-based practice in the care of children. When compared with nurses practicing in healthcare settings, school nurses may lack access to evidence-based continuing education and skill enhancement. One strategy proposed is the forming of partnerships with an academic institution, giving school nurses access to academic faculty and resources. This article highlights the collaboration and partnership between Baylor University Louise Herrington School of Nursing and the Dallas Independent School District, demonstrating that an academic partnership for the training of school nurses improves outcomes.

Review
School nurses intervene with students, parents, and school staff to advance the health and academic success of students. We conducted an integrative literature review of published research to describe the types of school nurse interventions and health and education outcome measures and to examine how school nurse interventions were linked to student outcomes. Sixty-five studies met the inclusion criteria. We used the National Association of School Nurses' Framework for 21st Century School Nursing Practice to categorize school nurse interventions and health and education outcome measures. The majority of interventions were categorized under the care coordination principle, most commonly, motivational interviewing and counseling. In 17 studies, school nurse interventions were linked to improved student outcomes. Most studies (80%) were descriptive. To advance school nursing science, researchers can build on this foundation with more rigorous research methods to evaluate the impact of school nurse interventions and activities on student health and education outcomes.
