Common Questions from FCPS Applicants

For clinicians with current credentials (nursing license, RBT certification, or teaching certificate), the typical timeline is 2 to 4 weeks from application to first day. Most delays come from credentialing (background check + license verification) and district orientation scheduling.
No — school-based experience is helpful but not required. What matters is your active credential (RN, LPN, RBT, or MD teaching certificate) and comfort working with children. If you're a nurse coming from hospital or LTC, we'll orient you to the school setting during onboarding.
Private Duty Nursing (PDN) means you're assigned one specific student with significant medical needs — such as tracheostomy care, tube feeding, seizure monitoring, or diabetes management. You stay with that student throughout their school day, providing continuous nursing care as outlined in their care plan.
Most FCPS assignments follow the school-day schedule — typically 6.5 to 7.5 hours per day, Monday through Friday, following the FCPS academic calendar. That's usually 30–35 hours per week during school weeks. Summer, weekends, holidays, and school closure days are unpaid.
Yes — as long as your RBT credential is active and in good standing with the BACB. We'll verify your certification status and ensure your supervision requirements (monthly BCBA meetings) continue through Eaglewings.
We hire clinicians willing to commute into Frederick County. Assignments span the entire district — from Frederick City to Brunswick to Thurmont — so we match you to schools that keep your drive manageable. Let us know your commute preferences.
Eaglewings does not maintain a paid PTO bank for school-based staff. You're paid for hours worked. Because school-based schedules follow the FCPS academic calendar, snow days, holidays, breaks, and summer are unpaid. Plan personal appointments for closed days when possible.
