Carnegie Healthcare partners with school districts throughout New Jersey and in Bucks, Philadelphia, Lehigh, Northampton, and Montgomery counties in Pennsylvania. Whether a district needs a dedicated nurse for a medically complex student, nursing support during transportation, or reliable substitute coverage, our licensed RNs and LPNs are ready to provide dependable, responsive support.

For eligible New Jersey students, we support accurate nursing-service documentation and coordination consistent with district SEMI requirements. Reimbursement eligibility and submission remain subject to applicable program and district requirements.

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 throughout New Jersey and in Bucks, Philadelphia, Lehigh, Northampton, and Montgomery counties in Pennsylvania.
