“…The professional school nurse is a baccalaureate-prepared nurse who possesses knowledge, skills, and expertise in the education, counseling, case management, and care coordination across school, health care, and community systems for children with chronic health conditions. HLAI supported current nursing standards that emphasized evidence-based practice (National Association of School Nurses and American Nurses Association, 2005;Praeger, 2005).…”

The Healthy Learner Asthma Initiative (HLAI) was designed as a comprehensive, school-community initiative to improve asthma management and produce healthy learners. National asthma guidelines were translated into components of asthma management in the school setting that defined performance expectations and lead to greater quality and consistency of asthma care. The HLAI incorporated evidence-based practice and introduced the role of the asthma resource nurse. Leadership, capacity building, and strong partnerships among school nurses, students, families, and health care providers were essential to the implementation and sustainability of the HLAI. Professional school nursing and evaluation were defined as key requisites to a successful initiative. Evaluation results indicated positive effects on nursing practice, fewer asthma visits to the health office, and better attendance among students who received asthma care in the school health office. The HLAI provided the basis for development of the Healthy Learner Model for Student Chronic Condition Management.

“…In 2004, the American Nurses Association (ANA) published its revised standards of practice, Nursing: Scope and Standards (ANA, 2004), which emphasizes evidence-based practice (EBP). An NASN task force reviewed the ANA scope of practice revisions before updating practice standards for school nurses that were released in summer 2005 (Praeger, 2005). Current school nursing practice is often based on tradition, trial and error, and, of course, experience.…”

School nurses need to demonstrate that their practice is based on the best evidence available, which is usually data obtained from research. Evidence-based practice involves combining the best evidence available with nursing expertise and patient and family preferences to determine optimum care. Evidence-based practice guidelines are developed by carefully reviewing the available evidence on a topic and synthesizing this information into recommendations for practice. This article defines evidence-based practice and best evidence, describes the development of evidence-based practice guidelines, discusses factors that affect the use of research and evidence-based practice guidelines in school nursing, and reviews current sources of evidence-based practice guidelines for school nurses. Strategies that school nurses can use to incorporate evidence into their practice are discussed. One recommendation is that school nurses partner with nurse leaders and nurse researchers to develop evidence-based practice guidelines relevant to school nurse practice.

“…In the 1980s, nursing organizations and the ANA developed a framework to make standards consistent in order to address the variability of existing standards among specialties (Taylor, 1991). As a specialty organization, the NASN a constituent member of ANA participated in the move to adopt the nursing process as the framework for scope and standards across specialties (Praeger, 2005). Scope and standards of practice are useful for practice setting administrators, consumers, regulators, and the public to outline the steps that nurses take to meet client health care needs.…”
