The school health office is often used as a clinical site for prelicensure nursing students in their community/public health or pediatrics clinicals. School nurses who serve as preceptors often find themselves unprepared, in part due to curricular changes focusing on competency-based education, which were updated in 2021. This article provides guidance for the practicing school nurse to provide a clinical experience for nursing students that meets the competency-based education requirements of the undergraduate nursing program and aligns with the NASN School Nursing Practice Framework. A brief explanation of competency-based education is discussed. Utilizing the umbrella of the school nursing standards, the American Association of Colleges of Nursing (AACN) Essentials, along with the School Nursing Framework, a sample model of activities to meet these competencies is provided to support both the student and the precepting school nurse.
