Wright State University's School of Nursing, Kinesiology, and Health Sciences recognizes the importance of health in the entire school community including children, staff, parents, and families. The School Nurse Certificate program at Wright State was developed to meet the needs of registered nurses to become licensed as a school nurse by the Ohio Department of Education. For more information about the practice of school nursing, visit the National Association of School Nurses and Ohio Association of School Nurses websites.
The two-semester School Nurse Certificate program is offered in an intensive online format and starts during the summer semester. Classes use a variety of learning technologies to deliver lectures, provide discussions, and offer simultaneous online seminars to meet the needs of an adult learner. At the end of this program, students will meet the requirements to be eligible to apply to the Ohio Department of Education for a School Nurse Professional Pupil Services license. Licensure and certification requirements vary from state to state, and we have not determined if this program meets educational requirements outside of Ohio. If you are planning to pursue professional licensure or certification in a state other than Ohio, please contact the appropriate licensing entity in that state to seek information and guidance regarding that state’s licensure or certification requirements. Students must be accepted by the Graduate School and the School of Nursing, Kinesiology, and Health Sciences.
