SUBSTITUTE SCHOOL NURSE APPLICATION PROCESS

Thank you for your interest in the position of substitute school nurse with the Greater Egg Harbor Regional High School District. Our district offers an "on call as needed" position to our substitute nurses at a flat rate of $250.00 per day, no benefits.

A prospective applicant must have either a NJ educational school nursing certificate, a substitute school nurse certificate or be eligible to apply for a substitute school nurse certificate. To be eligible to apply for a substitute certificate, the applicant must have completed at least 60 college credits. Substitute school nurses must also hold a NJ Registered Nurse license from the State of NJ. ALL applicants must be cleared by the New Jersey Criminal History Review Unit for this district and be approved by our Board of Education. Substitute school nurse certificates issued from the State of NJ are valid for 5 years. A substitute teacher who has graduated from a specific school within the last three years may not be hired to work in the same building of that school.

PROCEDURE FOR APPLICANTS APPLYING TO BE A SUBSTITUTE SCHOOL NURSE:
