Overview

School Nurse Corps Overview

Research shows that access to a registered nurse in the school setting promotes student safety, improves attendance, fosters academic achievement, reduces health and educational disparities, and contributes to creating engaged and informed citizens. Unfortunately, not all school districts have the resources to support registered nursing services. This is particularly the case in smaller, rural districts with limited resources. School Nurse Corps (SNC), a collaborative partnership between the Office of Superintendent of Public Instruction and Educational Service Districts, promotes equitable student access to registered nursing services.

Vision

All children receive equitable, full access to school nursing services to be healthy, safe and successful in school and life.

Mission

The School Nurse Corps, in partnership with schools, families and communities, improves student health outcomes, safety, and readiness to learn. School Nurse Corps promotes equity by increasing access to student health services and by expanding a school’s capacity to provide a safe and healthy learning environment.

Services

Provide school health consultation, professional development, mentoring, resources and technical guidance on school nurse practice and health services administration within NCESD region.
Assist school administrators in reviewing and planning for health services.
Assist school nurses and administrators in collecting and analyzing health services data.
Provide direct services support (as funding allows).
Work in partnership with national, state and regional agencies on practice and quality improvement efforts that ultimately impact NCESD districts.

School Nurse Case Management

School Nurse Case Management

In addition to the School Nurse Corps, North Central ESD serves as a Washington School Nurse Case Management site. The Nurse Case Management Program, developed in 2010, is the result of a partnership between Washington State Office of Superintendent of Public Instruction (OSPI) and their Institutional Education and Health Services Departments.

School Nurse Case Managers work with students who are at risk of failing academically due to health-related issues, such as chronic health conditions or emotional concerns that interfere with their ability to participate regularly and fully in school activities. Case Managers work collaboratively with the student, the district’s School Nurse, staff and administrators, providers, parents/families and community agencies, addressing factors that contribute to student absenteeism and poor academic performance and limit student potential.

The objectives of the program are to:

Improve health and self-management of health conditions
Increase student attendance
Improve academic achievement

Since the program’s inception, case management services have been implemented in eleven school districts in Educational Service Districts 171, 123 and 113. Districts were selected based on multiple risk factors such as high levels of poverty and unemployment, and a demonstrated need for more school nursing hours.

The Washington School Nurse Case Management Program is supported by Federal Title 1 Part D, Health Services funding. Districts eligible for case management services meet specific criteria outlined in the Title 1, Part D program and demonstrate a need for increased nursing hours as documented by the Washington State Assessment of District Student Health Services. Funding in North Central Washington supports School Nurse Case Management in two school districts.

SN Competency

School Nurse Competency

About the School Nurse Role

School nursing is a unique and challenging specialty within the nursing profession. The school nurse is often the only licensed healthcare professional in a school district, providing health services oversight for district students ranging from grades Pre-K to 12. With expertise in health improvement and health management, primary prevention, emergency response, care coordination, and team collaborations, school nurses are uniquely qualified to support school and student efforts toward academic success. On a day-to-day basis, the school nurse conducts student assessments of physical and behavioral issues and social determinants of health status, develops healthcare plans and emergency care plans, conducts staff training, connects with parents, connects with student support staff, such as counselors, therapists and special education teachers, connects with providers, conducts a wide range of service referrals to meet student needs, ensures screening and reporting requirements are met, ensures that medication management and administration and treatments are performed safely, collects district, state and national health data, manages health room activities, and serves as the health consultant on issues impacting student and staff health and safety. The work is varied, rewarding and fast-paced, with a workload impacted by school nurse-to-student ratios, student health conditions, and potentially limited contract hours. School nurses adhere to nationally-defined scope and standards of practice and are required to maintain competence in the position.

Employment Categories

Classified School Nurse Position

A nurse in a classified position may hold a Bachelor of Science degree in Nursing (BSN) or advanced nursing degree from an accredited program or an Associate Degree in Nursing (ADN), a Washington State Registered Nurse license, or a Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) license. Classified positions are district support positions that do not require certification or licensure (or are not eligible for WA State certification) to perform a job. Classified nurse positions align with non-teaching support staff under a district’s classified employee contract and pay scale.

Certificated School Nurse Position

A school nurse in a certificated position holds a Bachelor of Science degree in Nursing or advanced nursing degree from an accredited program, a Washington State Registered Nurse license, and Educational Staff Associate (ESA) certification from the Office of the Superintendent of Public Instruction (OSPI). Certificated school nurse positions align with the district’s teacher contract and pay scale. A district may require their school nurse to obtain and maintain school nurse ESA certification.

School Nurse Certifications

WA State ESA Certification for School Nurses

Educational Staff Associate (ESA) certificates are awarded to qualified registered nurses by the Office of Superintendent of Public Instruction (OSPI) under administration of the State of Washington Professional Educator Standards Board. See the OSPI School Nurse webpage for information on certification qualifications, Initial and Continuing levels of school nurse certification, and renewal requirements. Both the ESA Initial and Continuing Certificates are valid for five years and are eligible for renewal.

An initial certification requirement, the ESA Certification Preparation Course introduces new knowledge and skills specific to working with students in the K-12 academic setting and transitioning to the academic system. These courses, offered by Puget Sound ESD, Washington State University College of Nursing, and Pacific Lutheran University, introduce the registered nurse to:

National, state and local school and special education laws and policies and their application to decision-making processes in the educational setting
How to work within the culture of schools to create an environment that fosters safety, health and learning for students
How to access appropriate resources in the school setting
How to collaborate with team members, including parents, teachers, counselors, administrators, and others to support learning outcomes for all students
Use of appropriate strategies to support student outcomes, including scientifically-based practices, collaborative teaming and ethical decision making
Necessary professional standards to inform professional development
Use of human, community and technological resources

WA State Conditional ESA for School Nurses

A Conditional ESA Certificate is available for employers that would like to hire a nurse to a certificated school nurse position on the basis of experience and expertise, recognizing that the nurse does not meet the required qualifications to obtain ESA Certification. The Conditional ESA Certificate is valid for two years or less and may be renewed. This certificate must be initiated by the employer. Once the employer request has been submitted to OSPI, the nurse can submit an application for a conditional certificate. See the OSPI Conditional ESA webpage for information

Maintaining ESA Certification

Continuing education is a requirement for ESA certification renewal. For educators, continuing education units of credit are referred to as “clock hours”. For ESA certificated staff who hold a WA State Department of Health registered nurse license, acceptable units of credit for ESA renewal include other credit types – those that satisfy the continuing education requirements for their nursing license. ESA certificated school nurses may use continuing education units (CEUs), college credits and clock hours to meet ESA renewal requirements. For additional information, see “Department of Health License Hours as Clock Hours” on the OSPI Continuing Education Clock Hours webpage. ESA certificated nurses are encouraged to check professional development events to determine whether units of credit are available and to maintain documentation of professional development completion in a professional portfolio.

Maintaining Competency for State Licensure

All registered nurses and licensed practical nurses in Washington State are required to actively practice and to earn continuing education hours to meet the clinical competency requirement for licensure renewal. A range of professional development activities meet the continuing education requirement for licensure renewal. See Nurse Licensing Continuing Competency.

National School Nurse Certification

The National Certified School Nurse (NCSN) credential is awarded by the National Board for Certification of School Nurses (NBCSN). Obtaining national certification in the school nursing specialty is a mark of professional distinction for a school nurse, reflecting competence and professionalism.

pdEnroller

pdEnroller is a web service used by all Washington State Educational Service Districts to manage professional development courses. pdEnroller supports a course calendar that is searchable by state and by ESD region, course descriptions, course enrollment, course payment, course enrollment cancellation, course evaluations, clock hour purchases, and clock hour tracking. Users are responsible for creating their personal pdEnroller account and maintaining accurate profile information. See NCESD pdEnroller
