Substitute School Nurse

Villa Duchesne is seeking a dedicated, flexible Registered Nurse to join our community as an On-Call Substitute School Nurse for periodic, as needed coverage. The Substitute School Nurse will support our students, ranging from age 3 through grade 12, by overseeing their physical, emotional, mental, and social well-being throughout the school day. Whether administering basic first aid, implementing established care plans, or managing chronic conditions, the Substitute School Nurse will play a vital role in maintaining a safe, healthy, and nurturing environment for our school community whenever our primary School Nurse is away. This candidate will have a conferred associate’s or bachelor’s degree in Nursing and be licensed as a registered nurse (RN) in the State of Missouri.
