School Nurse Practicum Completion Portal

Program Coordinator Dr. Nelda Ephraim, alongside a nursing student and child patient

The School Nurse Practicum Completion Portal is a collaborative space for School Nurse Certificate Candidates, NJCU Faculty Clinical Supervisors within the Nursing Department in the College of Professional Studies, and our Cooperating School Nurse Preceptors/Cooperating Health Educators from our partner school districts across the state of New Jersey. This space provides a seamless transition for our School Nurse Practicum Candidates, assisting them in obtaining their certification as we strive to address current nursing workforce issues, including the faculty shortage. This portal is also available to our Clinical Supervisors and Cooperating School Nurse Preceptors/Cooperating Health Educators to provide valuable feedback regarding our student learning outcomes. 

The School Nurse Certification program at NJCU is approved by the New Jersey Department of Education. Specific information regarding the administrative codes can be found on the  webpage. The two school nurse endorsements, which identify the type of services the holder can provide; , and , can be found within Educational Services Certificates. We are committed to assisting Candidates who complete our program through the process of obtaining their certification.
