The hallmark of this unique setting is its strong sense of community, with students age 14-18 years from across the US and around the world. The health center staff nurse will be part of a nursing team that performs and oversees the daily clinical operations and provision of care required for the Health Center to serve as a 24/7 active ambulatory and urgent care clinic, medication dispensary and overnight infirmary. This school health center operates less like a high school health center and more like a small college health suite, with high standards of care, technology friendly, multidisciplinary collaboration across school offices, holistic approach to health care, and robust office management/practice management support to nursing staff. He/she is required to work both independently and as part of a personable and closely collaborative nursing team, receiving regular support and supervision from health services director, on campus physician, and nursing leads. He/she must be willing to work a variable schedule that would regularly include weekday day, evening and overnight shifts, as well as occasional weekend shifts. Staff scheduling is flexible and accommodating, made possible by each team members typically being flexible and accommodating themselves. The ideal candidate will have a strong clinical background and very solid assessment skills, particularly with common or routine primary care complaints. This person must be organized, able to work both independently and on a team. Able to multi-task, willing to work under busy conditions and able to collaborate and communicate effectively. Excellent customer service skills are essential. School based health care experience not necessary; comfort with and enjoyment of adolescents is a must. The school is looking for someone to fill this full time position as a permanent hire. Staffing turnover has been minimal in recent years, allowing for a strong sense of team in the health center. Current operations have evolved to include covid related care such as testing, isolation of symptomatic students with low acuity symptoms,etc. Temporary nursing staff have been retained to support additional work load brought on by covid pandemic. Beyond covid, the school anticipates a move into a brand new school health and wellness facility set to open in the next couple years. Full-time, 10-month Health Center Staff Nurse vacancy..
