Job Description

Make a meaningful impact this school year by supporting a young student as a dedicated Bus Riding RN. This short-term contract role involves working closely with a recently diagnosed Type 1 diabetic kindergartner in need of extra care and support during their bus commutes. Your expertise and compassionate presence will help ease the transition for the student and family, ensuring safety and confidence on each ride.

What we’re looking for:

• Active RN license
• Experience preferred in pediatric or school-based nursing
• Confidence in diabetes care and blood glucose monitoring
• Strong communication skills and a reassuring presence for young children
• The ability to collaborate with school nurses, transportation staff, and families

What you’ll do:

• Accompany a kindergarten student each day on school bus transportation
• Monitor for signs of diabetic complications and intervene as necessary
• Administer diabetes care procedures as outlined in the student’s health plan
• Serve as an advocate for the student’s well-being and safety during transport
• Communicate effectively with the student’s family and relevant school staff regarding any concerns or needs

This part-time assignment is ideal for those seeking meaningful work with a manageable schedule. Your focus will be solely on supporting one student, allowing you to build rapport and provide high-quality, individualized care. The role does not require full school-day coverage—your attention will strictly be needed during bus commutes.

Ready to make a difference in a child’s life and provide peace of mind to their family? Apply now and be the trusted RN who brings confidence, comfort, and expert care to a little one embarking on their educational journey.

Compensation for this position ranges from $32.00 to $52.00. Eligible candidates may also receive healthcare benefits, housing, and meals/incidentals. Full details of our healthcare benefits plan can be found here. This posting is open for 60 days after the posting date.
