Keep students healthy. Keep the school compliant. Support every learner.
The School Nurse supports the health and well-being of students by providing limited direct services, oversight of health-related policies and practices, and consultation with school staff. This part-time role ensures HRCS complies with state health regulations while promoting a safe and healthy learning environment.
This is a part-time, consultative role that partners closely with the site health technicians who handle day-to-day care — giving HRCS clinical oversight, nurse delegation, and compliance without a full-time nurse on site.

● Provide consultation and guidance to school staff on student health needs, chronic condition management, and emergency care procedures.
● Review student health records, immunizations, and medication forms to ensure compliance with state requirements.
● Oversee medication administration protocols, including delegation and training of unlicensed staff under Colorado nurse delegation rules.
● Conduct periodic checks of first aid and medical supplies, ensuring readiness and compliance.
● Serve as a resource for health education, wellness, and prevention initiatives.
● Participate in the development and review of student health plans (asthma, allergies, diabetes, seizures, and similar).
● Provide emergency response consultation and follow-up after significant health incidents at school.
● Maintain accurate, confidential documentation in accordance with legal and ethical standards.
