• Keep patient records up to date using electronic documentation systems.
• Ensure exam rooms, sleeping areas, and shared spaces remain clean, organized, and student-ready.
• Provide basic meals and snacks to students staying overnight, while maintaining an organized kitchen.
• Work closely with internal teams—medical, counseling, and safety staff—to coordinate care and communicate updates.
• Track and maintain essential clinical supplies and perform quality checks on point-of-care testing equipment.
• Serve as a supportive resource for students and families, offering compassionate communication and health education.
• Prepare clean linens and restock daily living items for overnight guests.

Qualifications:

• At least one year of experience in adolescent or pediatric care is a must!
• School nursing experience is a plus!
• Graduate of an accredited nursing program with current RN license or eligibility for licensure in Connecticut.
