HealthBar School Nurse

Starting at $53,000 annually | Full-Time | Benefits Eligible | Summers Off |

Why This Role Is Different

School nursing offers something that’s increasingly difficult to find in healthcare: the time and consistency to build meaningful relationships while providing thoughtful, skilled nursing care.

In this role, you’ll provide nursing support within a school community, with your primary clinical responsibilities centered around a student who requires ongoing medical monitoring and support during the school day.

Rather than managing a high patient volume or moving from room to room throughout a shift, you’ll have the opportunity to become familiar with the student’s needs, follow an established care plan, and help ensure health needs don’t prevent participation in school.

You’ll also work alongside teachers, administrators, families, and HealthBar’s clinical team — becoming a trusted part of the student’s broader support system.

What Your Days Look Like

You’ll provide skilled nursing support within the school environment, including:

• Providing individualized nursing care based on established health and care plans
• Monitoring the student’s health status throughout the school day
• Monitoring for changes in muscle strength, breathing, or overall condition
• Providing support and monitoring during eating and drinking
• Monitoring the student’s tolerance for physical activity and responding appropriately to changes

• Completing routine medication passes during the school day
• Assessing and responding appropriately to illness, injuries, or changes in condition
• Maintaining accurate health records and documenting care provided

• Supporting safe participation in classroom activities and daily school routines
• Assisting with general school health needs in the health office during periods when the student does not require direct nursing support

Program Details

This position is primarily focused on supporting a student with congenital myasthenic syndrome, a condition that can cause muscle weakness and may affect breathing, eating, and physical activity.

The student is stable and independent, with the RN’s role focused primarily on monitoring and supporting the student throughout the school day, particularly around eating, drinking, and activity. The role also includes a few routine medication passes.

During periods when the student does not require direct nursing support, the RN will assist with appropriate health office and school nursing responsibilities.

We’re looking for an RN who values consistency, communicates well, builds trust easily, and is comfortable independently monitoring a student while collaborating with school staff, family, and HealthBar’s clinical team.

This Role Is a Great Fit If…

You’re an RN who enjoys building strong relationships with students and providing individualized care in a school environment.

If you’re looking for meaningful nursing work with a predictable schedule and a lifestyle that leaves your evenings, weekends, holidays, and summers open, this could be an excellent fit.

The (Required) Qualifications

• Strong assessment, communication, and relationship-building skills
• Ability to monitor a student independently and recognize changes in condition
• Ability to work independently while collaborating effectively with school staff and families
• BLS certification (American Heart Association or Red Cross) within 90 days of hire
• Background check and fingerprinting will be required for this role
