Step into a meaningful contract role supporting students as a school nurse in a dynamic educational setting near Blue Springs, MO. This opportunity is ideal for RNs or LPNs eager to provide 1:1 care for special needs students while gaining experience across a diverse K-12 environment.
Two nurse positions are available for immediate start through the end of the school year (May 22), with full-time hours.

- Active RN or LPN license in Missouri without restrictions (check status prior to interview)
- Recent pediatric experience, preferably in ICU, ER, or school settings

- Flexibility to float within K-12 and adjust to variable schedules as needed
- Ability to multitask and work collaboratively with interdisciplinary teams
