Job Summary:

As a Registered Nurse (RN) with Cognitive Diagnostic Associates, this role is part time and focused exclusively on Independent Educational Evaluations (IEEs) for special education students.

The RN’s role is limited to records review, analysis, and report writing related to special education eligibility.

Work is primarily analytical and document based, with a strong emphasis on accuracy, attention to detail, and written communication.
