can an lpn be a school nurse
i don't believe they can.. i think because a LPN cannot do a inital assesment .. and being a school nurse requires a degree,, as a RN would have... all the school nurses i have worked with in the past have been RN's..i do know 3 school nurses now.. one is a RN, ADN and 2 are RN BSN's...ll depends on what state you are in, each state has a Nurse Practice (Scope of practice) here in AZ, LPNs can be school nurses, but the pay is horrible, its about 15/hr to start..
