What is a substitute school RN?

Substitute School Registered Nurses (RNs) are licensed nurses who temporarily fill in for regular school nurses when they are absent. Their duties include providing first aid, managing chronic health conditions, administering medications, and responding to health emergencies among students and staff. Substitute School RNs ensure that students’ health needs are met and that the school remains compliant with health regulations. They may work in various schools within a district on an as-needed basis and must be adaptable to different school environments.
