ABSTRACT
As part of the "data and school-nursing" articles series, we will include an accompanying interview with practicing school nurses regarding the same topic and how it applies to the real life of school nurses. Our hope is that the practical application found in the interviews will provide readers with an increased understanding that will assist them on their own data journey.

NASN has found a lack of research-based evidence to support the caseload ratio model of school nurse staffing. In keeping with the practices of school administrators, other school support personnel, and community health care providers, NASN is transitioning to the workload model to guide safe school nurse staffing. The workload model considers more than ratio and acuity; instead, it provides a full description of school nurse activities and other influences on student health.
