State-level school nursing infrastructure supports are essential for building equitable, evidence-based, quality school nursing services. Two recently published instruments, the State School Health Infrastructure Measure (SSHIM) and the Health Services Assessment Tool for Schools (HATS), provide opportunities to assess the extent of state-level infrastructure supports for school nursing and school health services. These instruments can be useful for planning and prioritizing to address needs to improve system-level quality and equity in school health services for the preK-12 population in each state.

Review
The increasing incidents of school shootings in recent years have resulted in America's students, teachers, and staff feeling vulnerable. The most effective approach to creating safe and supportive school environments requires a comprehensive, coordinated effort including school-wide, district-wide, and community-wide strategies. School nurses, healthcare partners embedded in school communities, can guide these efforts. This article reviews data on school located gun violence through a public health lens, as well as outlines a framework for levels of prevention, including downstream, midstream, and upstream strategies. Finally, the article includes evidence-based examples, models, and tools for each level of prevention.

PURPOSE
This study was conducted to develop the School Healthcare Partnership Scale for School Nurses (SHCPS-S) for children with type 1 diabetes and to validate its psychometric properties.
METHODS
This was a methodological study. A total 342 school nurses in South Korea participated in the study; 171 were randomly assigned to each group for exploratory factor analysis and confirmatory factor analysis. Data was collected from December 2021 to February 2022 via online survey. The Family Nursing Practice Scale was used to evaluate criterion validity, and the school nurse's professionalism scale and empathy were used to verify concurrent validity. Content validity review, response tests, and factor analysis were conducted.
RESULTS
A 50-items pool was created based on a hybrid concept analysis. Forty items were selected following the content validity review, using content validity index. A 20-item scale with four factors (trusting relationships, balanced responsibility, providing tailored care, and transparent and open communication) was chosen following exploratory factor analysis. Confirmatory factor analysis for the four factors showed an adequate model fit. The correlation coefficient with the family nursing practice and school nurse's professionalism scale were 0.642, 0.630, and 0.376. The Cronbach's α was 0.919, and the correlation coefficient was 0.768 in test-retest.
CONCLUSIONS
The SHCPS-S is a valid and reliable scale to measure school nurses' perceived collaborative relationships with parents for children with type 1 diabetes.
PRACTICAL IMPLICATIONS
This scale can be used as a tool in interventional studies to enhance school healthcare partnerships.

Membership as a Fellow in the National Academy of School Nursing (FNASN) is the NASN's highest recognition award. At the 2023 NASN Conference, five new Fellows were inducted and now add FNASN to their credentials. This group of exemplary school nurse professionals contributes to school nursing practice in many ways that crisscross NASN's Framework for 21st Century School Nursing Practice™. They each have chosen unique pathways to provide service. The 2023 NASN Fellows are: Eileen Gavin, New Jersey; Jenny Gormley, Massachusetts; Lynne Meadows, Georgia; Kathy Reiner, Colorado; and Sharonlee Trefry, Vermont. The following article outlines each Fellow's unique path to attaining FNASN.

BACKGROUND
Psychological distress and intention to leave school are highly prevalent among nursing students. Academic conditions, including psychosocial stressors and school-work-life conflicts, could contribute to psychological distress and intention to leave school.
OBJECTIVE
To explore the associations between academic conditions and 1) psychological distress and 2) intention to leave school.
DESIGN
Cross-sectional correlational design.
SETTINGS
Data collection was performed in February and October 2021 in two nursing schools in Canada: Cegep (publicly funded college, technical degree) and university (bachelor's degree).
PARTICIPANTS
230 nursing students (Cegep 131, university 99).
METHODS
A self-administered online questionnaire assessed academic conditions (psychosocial stressors (Demand-Control-Support, Effort-Reward Imbalance and Overcommitment scales) and school-work-life conflicts (single item)), psychological distress (Kessler-6 scale), intention to leave school, and several covariates. Poisson robust multivariate regression models were built to explore the associations between academic conditions and 1) psychological distress and 2) intention to leave school.
RESULTS
A large proportion of participants experienced high efforts, school-work-life conflicts, overcommitment, and psychological distress (49.5-84.7 %). One out of five participants had had intention to leave school "many times" (Cegep 20.61 %; university 22.22 %). In adjusted analysis, overcommitment and school-work-life conflicts were associated with a higher prevalence of psychological distress (Prevalence ratio = 2.10; 95 % Confidence Intervals = 1.15-3.84 and Prevalence ratio = 2.32; 95 % Confidence Intervals = 1.24-4.32, respectively). Adverse associations were observed between effort-reward imbalance (Prevalence ratio = 2.32; 95 % Confidence Intervals = 1.09-4.94) as well as school-work-life conflicts (Prevalence ratio = 2.40; 95 % Confidence Intervals = 1.05-5.45) and intention to leave school.
CONCLUSIONS
Academic conditions might be risk factors for psychological distress and intention to leave school among nursing students. Interventions targeting modifiable academic conditions might improve nursing students' mental health and retention.
