What is a School Nurse?
School nurses, whether LPN or RN, work in the schooling systems throughout the country as onsite healthcare providers. Similar to a nurse working in a hospital, school nurses strive to provide reliable and accurate care to their patients. There is a high priority on keeping children healthy throughout the year by performing health screenings, overseeing immunizations, providing specific assistance to children with health needs and more.
School Nurse Duties
The responsibilities of a school nurse include:
- The specialized practice of nursing that protects and promotes student health
- Facilitating optimal development and advancing academic success
- Optimizing student health, safety and learning
- Assisting students to manage their health needs, especially as more students are faced with health or mental problems
- Performing health screens
- Overseeing immunizations
As with traditional nursing, your education level dictates the services you can and cannot provide. If your goal is to become an RN, you will need a Bachelor’s in Nursing and a passing grade on the National Council Licensure Examination for Registered Nurses. For an LPN the learning landscape consists of an accredited program that generally includes one year of coursework and practical application at a hospital, vocational/technical school or community college. LPNs often advance into RNs, but both can provide services within the education space. Additional certification may be required depending on the state you wish to practice in.
School Nurse Job Outlook & Salary
School nurse jobs are anticipated to continue to grow at a faster-than-average rate. With growing populations leading to new schools being built and more students being diagnosed with medical conditions, the need for school nurses continues to rise. Salary will vary by state and education level.
