The complex and changing health needs of students and lack of consistency between school districts have led to some role confusion among school nurses. Ten school nurses participated in this qualitative, descriptive study, which elicited their perceptions and visions of their practice. Constant comparative analysis was used to find meaning in the data. Five conceptual categories--preparation for school nursing practice, essence of school nursing, scope of practice perceptions, powerlessness, and future outlook--emerged from the data. The results indicated the need for specialty education and peer mentoring as participants developed in their autonomous role as school nurses. The collective data from the categories provide direction for school nurses, for university school nursing educators, and the national association in advancing role development for school nursing practice.
学生复杂多变的健康需求以及学区之间缺乏连贯性，导致学校护士的角色出现了一些混乱。十名学校护士参与了这项定性描述性研究，该研究引出了她们对自身工作的看法和愿景。采用持续比较分析法从数据中找出意义。数据中出现了五个概念类别——学校护理实践准备、学校护理的本质、实践范围认知、无力感和未来展望。结果表明，随着参与者作为学校护士自主角色的发展，需要专业教育和同行指导。这些类别中的综合数据为学校护士、大学学校护理教育工作者以及全国协会推进学校护理实践的角色发展提供了方向。
