New Mexico Statutes Chapter 22. Public Schools § 22-10A-11.11. School nurses; level three licensure

Current as of January 01, 2024 | Updated by Findlaw Staff

A. A level three license is a nine-year license granted to a nurse who meets the qualifications for that level. If a level three school nurse does not demonstrate essential nursing competency in a given school year, the school district or charter school shall provide the school nurse with additional professional development and mentorship during the following school year. If by the end of that school year the school nurse fails to demonstrate essential nursing competency, a school district or charter school may choose not to contract with the school nurse.

B. The department shall grant a level three license to an applicant who:

(1) has been a level two school nurse for at least three years or has at least three years of registered nursing experience;

(2) holds a post-baccalaureate degree or is certified by the national board for certification of school nurses; and

(3) meets other qualifications for the license as determined by the department.

C. The minimum salary for a level three school nurse is the same as that for a level three-A teacher.
