Starting at $45,000 annually | Kenowa Hills Public Schools | Grand Rapids, MI |

Schedule

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)

• Monday – Friday
• 8:30 AM – 2:30 PM
• Schedule follows the school calendar

Benefits

Eligible employees receive access to HealthBar's benefit offerings, including:

• Direct access to a clinical provider (you + dependents)
• Discounted care through HealthBar's network
• Medical insurance (with HSA option)
• Paid Time Off
• Unlimited unpaid time off
• Biannual profit sharing
• 401(k)
• Short- and long-term disability & life insurance
• Licensure & certification renewal support

Yeah, you read that right.

This Role Is a Great Fit If…

You enjoy working with children and want to build meaningful relationships within a school community.

You remain calm under pressure, can confidently take the lead during emergencies, and are comfortable supporting elementary-aged students with both routine and complex health needs. You'll thrive in this role if you're adaptable, collaborative, and passionate about helping students stay healthy, safe, and ready to learn.
