School Nurses

School nurses are required to follow the SCDHEC School Exclusion List. It requires employees and students with certain illness and conditions to stay home from school. The complete list can be found on the SCDHEC website: www.scdhec.gov/health/disease/exclusion.htm

Other duties of the school nurse are as follows:

  • Identify health problems that interfere with learning and assist families and schools to resolve them; 

  • Work with students who have chronic illnesses to help them benefit from their education;

  • Monitor the administration of medications;

  • Assist with checking permanent records for complete medical records;

  • Conduct health-related screenings as needed; and

  • Provide health promotion activities as needed.
