Chair: Janice Cranmer, B.S., M.S.N., Ed.D., R.N.

The School Nurse Certification enables baccalaureate-prepared nurses to practice holistic health care in school environments. The required education courses may be completed at the graduate and/or undergraduate level. Applicants must have a Bachelor of Science in Nursing from an accredited institution. (Initial certification candidates must satisfy a pre-requisite of six credits both in Mathematics and English-Composition and Literature).

Applicants may be accepted as an enrichment student in order to complete EDL 619 and 629 at the graduate level. To be accepted at the enrichment level students must submit a completed graduate application form with the application fee and an official copy of their undergraduate transcript. For information on completing the required education courses and NURS 420 at the undergraduate level, contact the College of Lifelong Learning at 610-647-4400, extension 3239. Certification also requires satisfactory completion of state-mandated tests.
