Crb Substitute Service

School Nurse Opportunity

At Capital Region BOCES, we connect compassionate healthcare professionals with rewarding opportunities in schools across our local districts. School nurses play an essential role in our community, stepping in to manage the health office, support student wellness, and provide a safe environment whenever the regular nurse has to be away.

Whether you are a retired nurse looking to stay active in your field or an RN/LPN looking for a flexible pace outside traditional hospital shifts, we would love to meet you! Our team will walk you through the hiring process step-by-step, from your initial application all the way to your first day in the health office.

If you're ready to bring your clinical skills to local schools and make a positive impact on students, we encourage you to apply today!

Why You'll Love This Role

• Ultimate Flexibility: Work where you want, when you want. You get to choose the days and school buildings that best fit your schedule.

• Great Work-Life Balance: Absolutely no nights, weekends, holidays, or on-call shifts. Your schedule matches the school calendar perfectly.

• A Rewarding Environment: You get to focus one-on-one on student wellness, injury prevention, and healthcare education in a vibrant community setting.

What the Job Looks Like

• Provide Clinical Care: You'll step in to manage the school health office, administering first aid, caring for ill or injured students, and managing emergency situations as they arise.

• Medication Management: Safely store, log, and administer prescribed daily and as-needed medications to students according to district policy and physician orders.

• Keep Accurate Records: Maintain detailed and confidential health office logs, documenting student visits, care provided, and medications administered.

• Collaborate and Communicate: Work alongside school administrators and staff, and reach out to parents/guardians directly when a student needs to be picked up or requires follow-up care.
