Introducing the 3S (Student–School Nurse–School Community) Model

The National Association of School Nurses developed the Framework for 21st Century School Nursing Practice™ (Framework) to guide school nursing practice and help school nurses articulate their role to educators. Since its introduction, the Framework has been accepted and adopted by many. At the same time, several misunderstandings and misinterpretations of the Framework have come to light. The purpose of this article is to clarify the terminology in order to create a common understanding among practicing school nurses to be able to implement the Framework more fully and with integrity.

Frequent visits to the health office can lead to considerable time spent out of the classroom along with affecting relationships and health office resources and staffing. This article features the practice component of continuous quality improvement in the principal of quality improvement in the Framework for the 21st Century School Nursing Practice™ and is the third in a series focusing on the Framework. The article discusses how using multi-tiered systems of support for behavior (MTSS-B) to create expectations for the health office environment, along with intense, individualized plans for specific students, were successful in decreasing health office visits across the school district, with the ultimate goal of increasing instructional time. Outcome data revealed reductions in health office visits with a district-wide decrease of 4.1% one-year postimplementation of the project. More importantly, school nurses are providing better trauma-informed care with intentionality while still meeting the needs of students.

“…The data points were to define school nurse practice as well as outcomes of school nurses' interventions. The data were selected based on the 3S model (Wolfe et al, 2019) and were meant to include measures needed to optimize student health and advance the profession of school nursing.…”
