School Nurse

About the role

The School Nurse supports the health and well-being of students by providing limited direct services, oversight of health-related policies and practices, and consultation with school staff. This part-time role ensures HRCS complies with state health regulations while promoting a safe and healthy learning environment. This is a part-time, consultative role that partners closely with the site health technicians who handle day-to-day care — giving HRCS clinical oversight, nurse delegation, and compliance without a full-time nurse on site.

• Review student health records, immunizations, and medication forms to ensure compliance with state requirements.
• Oversee medication administration protocols, including delegation and training of unlicensed staff under Colorado nurse delegation rules.
• Conduct periodic checks of first aid and medical supplies, ensuring readiness and compliance.
• Serve as a resource for health education, wellness, and prevention initiatives.
• Participate in the development and review of student health plans (asthma, allergies, diabetes, seizures, and similar).
• Provide emergency response consultation and follow-up after significant health incidents at school.
• Maintain accurate, confidential documentation in accordance with legal and ethical standards.

Requirements

• Holds a current Registered Nurse (RN) license in the State of Colorado.
• Holds current CPR/First Aid certification.
• Brings school nurse experience and knowledge of Colorado school health regulations (strongly preferred).
• Is organized, communicates clearly, and works collaboratively with staff and families.
• Believes in HRCS's mission of outdoor, community-centered learning and community partnership.

Compensation

$35.55–$40.75/hour, based on the HRCS RN salary band (entry through 12 years of experience).

Schedule

5–10 hours per month (flexible; primarily scheduled in advance).

Benefits

• Colorado HWFA paid sick leave
• FAMLI paid family and medical leave
• PERA retirement
