School Nurse (LPN) - Kent, WA

Make a meaningful impact in a student's life by providing dedicated 1:1 support in a welcoming elementary school environment near Kent, WA. This contract opportunity is ideal for LPNs passionate about pediatric care and ready to support a 7-year-old female student with complex medical needs throughout her school day.

Your day will begin by accompanying the student on her bus ride, ensuring her safety from pick-up at 9:00 am through drop-off at 4:21 pm. The student uses an adaptive stroller and requires gentle lifting support for transfers, largely handled by a two-person team. Experience with G-tube feedings and tracheostomy care is essential, as you will be responsible for these daily medical needs. The student is completely non-verbal—while she has access to an eye-gaze AAC device, it’s not yet used functionally, so attentive, compassionate communication is key.

Key Qualifications:

• Active LPN license (Washington state)
• Previous experience supporting pediatric patients in a school or similar setting
• Expertise with G-tube and trach care
• Comfortable with lifting/support during transfers and using adaptive equipment
• Patience and sensitivity supporting non-verbal children
• Commitment to safety protocols during bus transportation

Core Responsibilities:

• Providing 1:1 medical support and personal care throughout the school day
• Assisting safely with transfers, diapering, and use of mobility equipment
• Administering tube feedings and trach management
• Monitoring and documenting health status and daily care
• Collaborating with school staff and following individualized care plans

You’ll find this setting both rewarding and collaborative, surrounded by professionals dedicated to each child’s well-being. Step into a role where your clinical skills and compassionate approach truly matter.
