  • School Nurse Salary Tiers and Minimums Legislation

    8 months ago
    HB0195 โ€“ School Nurse Salary Tiers and Minimums has been signed into law by Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham. With great help and support from Sponsor Representative Joy Garratt, Sponsor Senator Natalie Figueroa, Government Relations: Linda Siegle and Gloria Doherty, New Mexico School Nurses Association members: Joshua Landry- Legislative Chair, Elizabeth Dickson, Myrna Barbee-Lee, Barbara Wheeler, Shawna Bailey โ€“ NMSNA President. Many more have helped at varying capacities to make this a reality.
    HB195 will put school nurses on a three-tiered pay licensure system mirroring teacher pay levels and annual stipend for national certification through state statute. School nursing compensation was previously unregulated and varied across the state. This pay parity will allow National Board School Nurses (NCSNs) to receive an annual stipend in addition to moving up to a Level Three licensure and pay for their certification and excellence in nursing practice. This is all in hopes of retaining and attracting professional nurses into school nursing practice ensuring student health and wellbeing.
