Why This Role Is Different

This is not a hospital shift or chaotic urgent care.

As a School District Nurse within HealthBar’s School Nursing Program, you’ll provide comprehensive, thoughtful nursing care to a defined student population — with predictable hours, real autonomy, and the ability to build meaningful relationships in your school community.

You’ll follow the school-year calendar:

Summers off
No nights
No weekends
No holidays

This is a clinical role with balance built in.

What Your Days Look Like

You will:

Provide medical training and delegation for school staff (medication administration, chronic disease support, CPR/First Aid, MERT)
Support chronic disease management (allergies, asthma, diabetes, seizures, mental health)
Write and implement individualized plans of care
Respond to medical emergencies and coordinate Medical Emergency Response Teams (MERT)
Collaborate with school administration, teachers, PT/OT, speech, social work, CNAs, and fellow RNs
Participate in 504 and IEP meetings

You'll also provide both routine and complex nursing care, including:

Medication administration
Assessing and treating illnesses and injuries
Specialized nursing care as needed
Public health education
Provider consultations

What You Won’t Be Dealing With

No hospital shift rotations
No 12-hour nights
No holiday coverage
No weekend requirements
No unpredictable overtime

You'll work a steady, school-based schedule that allows you to fully unplug during breaks.

Compensation & Schedule

Starting at $45,000 annually (based on experience)
