Position Overview

The Health Services Department is accepting applications to build a pool of College Health Nurses for possible future temporary, hourly assignments. Individuals hired will be scheduled as needed to provide coverage in the absence of permanent staff. The department’s director or designee will review applications throughout the school year as vacancies become available.

Substitutes may be asked to work part-time, on-call, or as needed during regular hours of operation at the following locations:

• Friday: 8 a.m.-3 p.m.
• Student Health Services Office - San Elijo Campus

Please note, when this position is full-time (40 hours per week), it is classified as exempt based on job duties, and not eligible for compensation for overtime in excess of eight (8) hours worked in one day or in excess of forty (40) hours worked in one week.
