National Association of School Nurses (NASN) Framework for 21st Century School Nursing Practice provides structure and focus for the key principles and components of current evidence-based school nursing practice. It is aligned with a collaborative approach to learning and health. Central to the Framework is student-centered nursing care that occurs within the context of the students’ family and school community. Surrounding the students, family, and school community are the non-hierarchical, overlapping key principles of Care Coordination, Leadership, Quality Improvement, and Community/Public Health. These principles are surrounded by the fifth principle, Standards of Practice, which is foundational for evidence-based, clinically competent, quality care. New school nurses need to understand the practice components of each principle helping students be healthy, safe, and ready to learn to optimize both student health and academic achievement.
