Hi Everyone! I've been a nurse for almost two years and am considering eventually becoming a school nurse. I have my RN and will have completed school for my BSN at the end of the month. I have looked into the qualifications a school nurse must have and while most websites say you need at least a school nurse certification, others have programs for an MSN in school nursing. I have heard I can do substitute school nursing before earning a certification, but am looking for guidance to see what you've done and/or what certifications or degrees are required for this job. I live in NJ and know this may vary by state. Ultimately, I hope to one day work in the NJ/NY area. Thank you!
