title: School nursing in the 21st century: prediction and readiness.
abstract: The complex health and education needs of today's students are prompting schools to develop more responsive school health programs. School nurses' preparation for roles in these emerging programs requires both a vision of future practice and a clear recognition of present skill levels. This study compared the vision of practice in the twenty-first century held by school nurses in a rural, mid-plains state with the vision of a national expert school nurse panel. The findings have implications for role evolution and educational preparation.
