• Coordination of Care: Coordinate care and student emergency action plans related to conditions such as diabetes, seizures, asthma, and life-threatening allergies, including the use of emergency medications.
• Preparation for Field Trips and Events: Proactively ensure that teachers and event organizers have what they need for a successful experience, including first aid kits, relevant student information, medication, etc. and be on call to respond to issues that take place during trips.
• Other Health Support: While adults in the building are not the intended audience for the school nurse, the school nurse is asked to respond to health emergencies that might occur among adults in the building.
• Collaborate with Other School Personnel: Coordinate with other school staff as needed when potential health problems are barriers to learning or symptoms of underlying medical conditions.

Administration, Compliance, and Education

• Records Management: Review, enter, and ensure accuracy of health information into the electronic health records system (August Health) consistent with best practices and legal requirements related to student health.
• Compliance: Monitor immunizations, review records for compliance to state laws and school policies, and report communicable diseases; communicate with DC DOH and enter data into DOCIS as required.
• Illness Tracking and Mitigation: Track, manage and mitigate communicable illness outbreaks through collaboration with the school’s facilities and maintenance team and by providing resources to families, students, and staff about illness prevention.
• Supplies and Protocols: Ensure proper health room protocols are maintained, including sanitation, medication labeling, and locking of medications; manage the health room inventory and order needed supplies with an eye to remaining within budget.
• Delegation and Management: The School Nurse trains, advises, and delegates to Administration of Medication Trained staff (AOMs) on issues related to medication administration or first aid and CPR. The full-time nurse manages any Substitute Nurses.
• Communication: Communicate clearly, in a timely manner, and collegially with families, colleagues, and others, as needed. All school communications should be agreed upon collaboratively between both nurses.

• Certifications: Current certification in CPR and First Aid is required.
• Skills: Ability to practice independently with little oversight; proficiency in problem-solving; and well-developed interpersonal and communication skills. Prior experience with electronic health records systems, such as August Health, is considered a plus.
