School nurses lead efforts to assess and respond to individual and community health needs by implementing and evaluating policies, procedures, and actions that impact student health, safety and achievement. Despite the importance of developing school nurse leadership, few reports are available to evaluate evidence-based programs designed to increase school nurse leadership practice. This report describes the development and evaluation of a school nurse leadership program implemented from 2016 to 2024 in the United States. Sixty-three school nurses and administrators who participated in the program evaluation demonstrated increased leadership knowledge, confidence, skills, and behaviors with evidence of positive impacts on school communities-outcomes that align with the Kirkpatrick Model for evaluating training programs. As the leadership program aligned with national standards and frameworks and was delivered in both virtual and in person formats, a future goal is to implement the program at the local, state, and national levels with adequate resources provided.
