Violence is a public health crisis. It is especially concerning when it involves youth, whether they be victims, perpetrators, or observers. Part 1 of this two-part series categorizes the types of violence toward and by youth. There is a great deal of information on the prevalence of violence, mostly related to school shootings. However, the literature provides limited information on the antecedents of violent behaviors, and there is a dearth of information on "why" youth engage in violence. This is the unanswered question that drives Part 1 of this series. The beginning steps to understand "why" are viewed through the lens of a modified ABC Model (antecedent, behavior, consequence). Interventions for youth violence will be explored in Part 2.

The increasing incidents of school shootings in recent years have resulted in America’s students, teachers, and staff feeling vulnerable. The most effective approach to creating safe and supportive school environments requires a comprehensive, coordinated effort including school-wide, district-wide, and community-wide strategies. School nurses, healthcare partners embedded in school communities, can guide these efforts. This article reviews data on school located gun violence through a public health lens, as well as outlines a framework for levels of prevention, including downstream, midstream, and upstream strategies. Finally, the article includes evidence-based examples, models, and tools for each level of prevention.

Annually, the National Association of School Nurses (NASN) sets advocacy goals, including legislative priorities. This past January, the NASN Board of Directors resumed their in-person Hill Day, with over 100 appointments with Members of Congress and Senators. This article highlights NASN's 2022-2023 legislative priorities and advocacy efforts, along with briefly discussing the relationship of Bipartisan Safer Communities Act to Medicaid reimbursement for school nursing services.

While all nurses likely have a resume, most do not have a Curriculum Vitae or CV. CVs are used to provide a complete picture of your professional history. Resumes are crafted to highlight a candidate's fitness for a particular position. In contrast, a CV is a complete record of one's professional career and accomplishments. A CV is a comprehensive document that, along with your education and job history, is a record of all your professional achievements and activities.

Vaccine hesitance is a public health issue that school nurses often address in practice. It has become even more prevalent during the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. Vaccine compliance among schoolchildren is essential to the health of an entire community, given that many pediatric illnesses are vaccine-preventable. School nurses are involved in the promotion of vaccines in a school district, as they provide health education to students and families and are responsible for vaccine surveillance. Promoting vaccine compliance as a matter of public health can be challenging for school nurses, especially if a community holds strong beliefs regarding the necessity of pediatric vaccines. This article reviews the history of vaccine mandates, addresses challenges associated with vaccine compliance, and provides interventions school nurses can use when providing care to students and families regarding vaccine hesitancy. In following the nursing process, a school nurse is able to identify students missing vaccine(s) and evaluate for hesitancy, before implementing interventions that provide education to students and families. Several cost-efficient and accessible interventions can facilitate effective education and promote vaccine compliance. School nurses can forge trusting relationships and engage in compassionate dialogue to support vaccine compliance in the school.
