Credentials

This is a curiosity post...is everyone here officially considered a school nurse legally by their state?

I technically am not a licensed school nurse in my state but I work as a registered nurse in a school health clinic. I work thru an educational/health services company. I am the only registered nurse at this private K-8 school so I am the district nurse as well. I delegate to a health aide. I am going back for my BSN now and am debating whether I should work towards becoming a licensed school nurse. I have a bachelors in another field. This is my first year in school nursing and I enjoy it compared to previous RN jobs. I tell family and friends I am a school nurse because trying to explain that I am not a licensed school nurse confuses them.

Sorry for the long post. I am just curious about everyone's background here. Thank you for reading!

    I am an RN, BSN. In my state CSNs are mainly required for public schools, but in private schools I believe you can work as an LPN or an RN. I have considered going back to school for my CSN, but cannot justify the expense for little to no pay incentive.

    In my state we are required to have our BSN as well as complete our certification for school nursing. RN, BSN, NCSN

    I am an RN, MSN, and am licensed in my state thru the dept. of education as a school nurse.

    I do not have school nurse certification thru NASN though (we were told we didn't have to do it if you have a masters degree, it is optional, so I didn't do it).
