A national survey of members of the National Association of School Nurses was conducted to identify interventions from the Nursing Interventions Classification (NIC) that are used by school nurses. Usable responses were returned from 522 school nurses. The findings were that 163 interventions were used, on the average, from every day to once a year, and all but three interventions were used by one or more respondents. Certain interventions were significantly associated with special education or grade level of children served by nurses. It is concluded that the NIC is a useful tool to standardize documentation for school nursing.

A previous paper (published in the last issue of the 'International History of Nursing Journal') traced the origins of the school medical service and the work and employment of school nurses in the first years. The following account outlines the development of school nursing up to the period following the World War II. This takes place against a series of political and organisational changes, including those precipitated by both the World wars. Although there are frequent references to school nursing work in contemporary records, the voice of school nurses themselves is often missing. The sources used in writing this paper include the archives of the Health Visitors' Association and its predecessors (particularly the Women Public Health Officers' Association--the WPHOA) include records of the responses of a professional association for school nurses to proposed changes. Records of the School Medical Group (SMG) of the Society of Medical Officers of Health (Soc MOsH), including correspondence with the BMA, were also consulted. The records of both of these groups are held at the Contemporary Medical Archive of the Wellcome Institute for the History of Medicine. Material kept at the Public Record Office was used, but papers relating to the years after 1969 remain closed under the 30-year rule. Relevant secondary sources were also used.

Society has an emerging respect for the impact that school health nursing programs have on both the health and the education of school-age children. School nurses need to capture current opportunities by building on the richness of the past in order to remain viable, to advance the value of the specialty, and to meet increasing demands for health-related services in schools. Thriving in an increasingly complex and outcome-driven health and educational environment will require a broadening of perspectives, a modifying of paradigms, and an adjustment of attitudes and practices. This will involve building stronger program support, influencing external societal forces, forging new and expanded partnerships, and solidifying program infrastructures while addressing the specialty's professional and practice issues. Such changes will allow school nursing services to remain available and relevant to the needs of the students and communities they serve. This is Part I of a two-part series on the future of school nursing.

The purpose of this article is to present a state-by-state summary of rules and regulations governing school nursing practice in the United States. Official government and agency sites were reviewed to determine providers of services in schools, criteria for becoming a school nurse, protection of titling, mandates for school nursing, and the requirements for continuing to practice as a school nurse. Trends were identified after verifying regulatory information. The majority of states credential school nurses for practice, with Departments of Education being the most frequent authorizing agency. Almost half (n = 23, 45%) of the states refer to the role of licensed practical nurses in the school setting. Requirements for becoming a school nurse range from licensed practical or vocational nurse (LPN) to registered nurse-bachelor of science degree in nursing with additional education and experience. Limitations related to data collection issues and implications for practice, education, and leadership are discussed.

NASN recently developed a Framework for 21st-Century School Nursing Practice (Framework) to guide school nursing activities. The principles and components of the Framework can be used as a guide in achieving high-quality school nurse practice. The purpose of this article is to share how school nurses can use the Framework in their daily practice, invite nurses to identify one new way the Framework can be used in your practice this school year, and implement and evaluate the change.

The complex and changing health needs of students and lack of consistency between school districts have led to some role confusion among school nurses. Ten school nurses participated in this qualitative, descriptive study, which elicited their perceptions and visions of their practice. Constant comparative analysis was used to find meaning in the data. Five conceptual categories--preparation for school nursing practice, essence of school nursing, scope of practice perceptions, powerlessness, and future outlook--emerged from the data. The results indicated the need for specialty education and peer mentoring as participants developed in their autonomous role as school nurses. The collective data from the categories provide direction for school nurses, for university school nursing educators, and the national association in advancing role development for school nursing practice.
