Job Description

District Registered Nurse – School Nursing

Muskegon, MI | Starting at $30,000 per year | September - June | 20 hr/week

Schedule

• Monday - Friday, 8:30am - 12:30pm
• 20 hr/wk | .36 FTE
• Following the school-year calendar, August - June

Preferred Start Date: Sept 28th

Why This Role Is Different

This is not a hospital shift or chaotic urgent care.

As a School District Nurse within HealthBar’s School Nursing Program, you’ll provide comprehensive, thoughtful nursing care to a defined student population — with predictable hours, real autonomy, and the ability to build meaningful relationships in your school community.

You’ll follow the school-year calendar:

• Summers off
• No nights
• No weekends
• No holidays

This is a clinical role with balance.

What Your Days Look Like

You will:

• Provide medical training and delegation for school staff (medication administration, chronic disease support, CPR/First Aid, MERT)
• Chronic disease management (allergies, asthma, diabetes, seizures, mental health)
• Write and implement individualized plans of care
• Respond to medical emergencies and coordinate Medical Emergency Response Teams (MERT)
• Collaborate with school administration, teachers, PT/OT, speech, social work, CNAs, and fellow RNs
• Participate in 504 and IEP meetings

You’ll also provide both routine and complex nursing care, including:

• Medication administration
• Assessing and treating illness and injuries
• Specialized nursing care as needed (tracheostomy/ventilator support, G-tube feedings, catheter care, ostomies)
• Public Health education
• Provider consultations

What You Won’t Be Dealing With

• No hospital shift rotations
• No 12-hour nights
• No holiday coverage
• No weekend requirements
• No unpredictable overtime

You’ll work a steady, school-based schedule that allows you to fully unplug during breaks.

Compensation & Schedule

• $30,000–$35,000 per school year
• 20-hours week, following the school calendar

Benefits

Part Time school nurses receive access to HealthBar’s benefit offerings, including:

• Direct access to a clinical provider for you, your spouse, and dependents
• Discounted care through HealthBar’s healthcare network
• Up to 4 weeks PTO
• Biannual Profit Sharing
• Licensure and certification renewal support

Yeah, you read that right.

This Role Is a Great Fit If…

You’re an RN who wants to practice meaningful, collaborative nursing in a school setting while maintaining work-life balance and having your summers back.
