Credentialed School Nurse (CSN)

Covelo Group is seeking a credentialed school nurse (CSN) to join our Educational Services team. If you're looking for a rewarding career meeting the unique healthcare needs of students in a school setting, this could be the role for you.

Covelo Group's expert recruiters connect qualified nursing professionals with school districts across the U.S. We don't place our applicants in just any job – we partner with you to match you with the right position to match your skills and advance your unique career goals.

As a school nurse, you will be required to promote disease prevention, health, and well-being among the student population you serve. As part of these responsibilities, you will be expected to keep records of students' immunizations and relevant health histories. Your students will vary in age from grades K-12, depending on the school to which you will be assigned within the district.

In addition to basic first aid, you will need to meet the unique healthcare needs of students within your school. These needs may be related to any number of chronic health conditions, such as food allergies, asthma, or diabetes. Any care provided to students will need to be consistent with their individual education plans (IEPs), individual healthcare plans (IHPs), and/or 504 plans when applicable.

Depending on students' unique health conditions, you may be required to provide a wide range of care that could include respiratory treatments or maintenance of equipment such as catheters, gastric tubes, tracheostomies, or ventilators. You will also be required to manage the administration of medication, both for routine and emergency purposes. CSNs are required to ensure necessary paperwork and authorization is in place to store and administer students' medication.

We are looking for a versatile CSN who is willing to collaborate with a diverse group of students, educators, and administrators. Our ideal applicant is compassionate, steady under pressure, and capable of meeting the various healthcare needs of medically fragile students.
