School Nursing - A Specialty Practice of Nursing
As a professional organization, the Ohio Association of School Nurses
recognizes that school nursing is a unique and special practice of nursing. OASN
encourages all registered nurses working in schools to pursue school nurse
licensure through the Ohio Department of Education (ODE). ODE Licensure has been
proven critical to the professional growth and assimilation of the registered
nurse into the educational environment. School nurses are "key to student
success".
How do I acquire my Temporary
Licensure?
1. If you have a bachelors degree and are a Registered Nurse in the State of
Ohio and you are currently working in a school, ask the central office staff in
your Superintendents' office for an "application for temporary
licensure".
Then........
2. Take your completed application and a copy of your RN License back to the
superintendents' office for signature and they will send it to Columbus to the
Ohio Department of Education. You should receive your ODE Temporary
License soon after.
Then........
Keep it in a safe place with your RN license.
This license needs renewed each year. (use the same
process)

Please be aware of what's new for
licensure..........
The Ohio State Board of Education recently approved the following revisions
to 3301-23-44 Rule for Temporary Licenses for school nurses. These revisions are
now a part of the Ohio Administrative Code. They will be in effect January 1,
2003.
Revisions:
School Nurse - currently valid license to practice as a registered nurse issued
by the Ohio Board of Nursing and the holder of a baccalaureate degree.
A temporary school nurse license may be renewed on completion of six semester
hours of coursework in an approved program leading to licensure in the area of
school nursing.
Renewal of 4yr/8yr/Permanent
Certificate
According to the 1998 Teacher Education and Licensure Standards in
3301-24-08(H), "The school audiologist, school social worker, school
speech-language pathologist, SCHOOL NURSE, occupational therapy assistant, and
physical therapy assistant licenses may be renewed upon evidence of a currently
valid license issued by the respective Ohio licensure board."
This means that if a school nurse showed evidence of a current license to
practice as a registered nurse issued by the Ohio Board of Nursing, that the
license would be sufficient to apply for the renewal of the Ohio Department of
Education School Nurse license without having to go through the LPDC process.
