School nurse in CA

Hello,

First time posting on here. I have been a school nurse sub since Aug 2016 and I think I am ready to make the leap and take on the job as full-time school nurse if a position opens in my area. I work med-surg at a hospital and do school nursing for fun. I am looking at going back to school to get my school nurse credential. I am looking for input as to what I should make the MSN focus on, Education or School Nursing Education. Cal State Fullerton offers a post SNSC masters with a focus on school nursing but I worry that it will limit me to school nursing only vs. a MSN in education and not school nursing. What is your MSN concentration on? Two of the nurses at the district I sub in have Masters in Education instead of Masters of Nursing in Education, but they do have their school nursing credential. Hope this post makes sense.

    Why do you need a masters? The only credentialed school nurse in my district with a masters is our director. She has a masters in education. You can apply for a preliminary credential, here's the link for the PDF which includes the requirements for the preliminary and the forms: http://www.ctc.ca.gov/credentials/leaflets/cl380.pdf

    Edit: It also includes a link to approved credential programs. Good luck!

    All the nurses in my district have a masters on top of the school nurse credential. It helps with the pay bracket but the priority is the school nurse credential. I already have the preliminary school nurse credential but thank you for the link.
