School Nursing Services

Carnegie Healthcare partners with New Jersey school districts to ensure every student has access to qualified, compassionate nursing care — every single day. Whether you need a dedicated nurse for a medically complex student or reliable substitute coverage when your school nurse is out, our licensed RNs and LPNs are ready to step in seamlessly.

We help districts maximize SEMI reimbursements for eligible students — turning required nursing services into recoverable Medicaid dollars. 

1:1 Dedicated School Nursing

Some students require individualized, continuous nursing support throughout the school day. Our 1:1 school nurses work directly with the student, their family, and the school's IEP or 504 team to deliver safe, consistent medical care that allows the student to fully participate in their education.

Our nurses are experienced in managing complex medical needs in the school environment, including:

  • Tracheostomy and ventilator management
  • Gastrostomy (G-tube) and feeding tube care
  • Seizure monitoring and emergency response
  • Catheter and ostomy care
  • Diabetes management and insulin administration
  • Medication administration per physician orders
  • Respiratory treatments and nebulizer therapy
Our 1:1 school nursing services are available to districts and families across New Jersey, including Mercer County school districts such as Hamilton Township, Trenton, Princeton, and Robbinsville.
