More about State of Missouri

This is a school-based nursing position serving students with severe disabilities, distinct from a traditional hospital or clinical setting. The RN or BSN role encompasses coordinating health screenings, implementing special health care procedures, administering medications, providing first aid and CPR training, and developing comprehensive school health plans. Nurses also participate in Individualized Education Program (IEP) conferences as part of an interdisciplinary team supporting student health and educational outcomes. This position requires a Missouri RN license and experience with pediatrics and/or individuals with disabilities. As a state government employer within the education sector, the role offers a public-sector nursing career path focused on a specialized pediatric population.

The mission centers on providing specialized educational and health services to severely disabled students in Missouri through the Department of Elementary and Secondary Education. The nursing role emphasizes comprehensive school health planning, specialized health care procedures, staff training, and interdisciplinary collaboration through IEP participation to support student well-being and educational access.
