To be eligible for this opportunity, school nurses must:
1. Be employed to work in a Maine school for at least one year
2. Hold a current 524 professional or conditional endorsement from the Maine Department of Education
3. Meet eligibility requirements by the National Board for Certified School Nurses: https://www.nbcsn.org/ncsn/eligibility/
