This substitute school nurse position supports students in Old Bridge, NJ, stepping in to provide coverage across school buildings as needed throughout the academic year. You will assess student health concerns, administer medications, manage chronic health conditions, and communicate with families and staff when a student needs care or follow-up. The work requires sound clinical judgment alongside genuine care for children of all ages.
As a substitute, you will move between buildings and grade levels, adapting quickly to each school's routines and health office procedures. You will collaborate with teachers, administrators, and support staff to ensure students with medical needs can participate fully in their school day. A current New Jersey nursing licence is required, and prior experience in a pediatric or school-based setting will serve you well in this role.
