A 4353 New Jersey General Assembly · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Permits individual holding a nursing multistate license to be eligible for school nurse certification.

This bill allows registered nurses holding a multistate nursing license (under New Jersey's 2019 Nurse Licensure Compact) to qualify for school nurse certification in New Jersey public schools. It amends existing rules to include multistate license holders as eligible for school nurse endorsements, substitute certificates, and non-instructional credentials. Previously, only nurses with New Jersey-specific licenses could obtain these certifications. The change directly affects out-of-state nurses seeking school nursing roles in New Jersey, streamlining their eligibility without altering clinical practice requirements.
