Allows school nurses in Massachusetts to receive creditable service for nursing work experience.

Massachusetts S1787 amends the state's general laws to allow school nurses who are members of a retirement system to receive creditable service for nursing work experience. This applies to those employed in a school approved by the Department of Education. Nurses must have completed ten or more years of membership service and make application within ninety days of being notified by the retirement board or the act's effective date. The bill does not specify a maximum limit for creditable service.
