East Stroudsburg University - Academics - Nursing - School Nurse Permanent Certification

In order to be permanently certified as a school nurse in Pennsylvania, graduates of School Nurse Certification programs must accumulate a minimum of 24 post-baccalaureate semester credit hours within six years of initial certification. In most instances, courses taken toward School Nurse Certification count toward permanent certification as long as they have been taken after the date on which the degree was granted. Students should also consult with their employers as to whether these courses can be applied toward the various employee benefit packages (i.e. promotion, pay grade increases, etc.).
