Program Overview
NASN believes the understanding and implementing the Framework^TM is foundational to professional school nursing practice. Gaps in, reinforcement needed in, and refresher needed in knowledge to support ongoing incorporation into practice of the NASN Framework^TM. Requests have been made to provide a shorter online version of the current full-day PD offerings that focus on the individual principles of the Framework^TM. In-person full day workshop presentations have been challenged due to the ongoing COVID pandemic, and evolving demands placed on practicing school nurses as they return to their full scope of practice. This need was verbalized as during a needs assessment with a state grant site for the CDC funded Advancing Equity in School Health Services by School Nurses. NASN grant deliverables in response to this target state request is to provide professional development and technical assistance to address this need. While targeting a grant site, this provides the opportunity to address the larger requests previously coming from NASN constituents for on-demand, shorter bursts of learning about the Framework^TM.

Learning Outcomes

• Describe how NASN’s Framework^TM reflects a mindset for contemporary school nursing practice.
• Articulate the practice components for each of the five principles.

• Self-report intention to incorporate three key actions that reflect the practice components for each of the five principles into practice in the next six months.
• Articulate a “stairwell speech” that reflects a Framework^TM mindset helping school health stakeholders better understand the critical role of the school nurse in supporting education and health equity for students, families, and the school community.
• Implement an Action Plan for incremental school nursing practice change at the end of this educational offering.
