   Toileting pre-k a nursing function?

   UpliftingRN replied to UpliftingRN's topic in School

   Oh, they used that excuse as well! This is a private school and apparently unless you have a "contract" perhaps everything falls on you. Where's my contract?! It's really a shame.

    Do You Like Being A School Nurse?

    UpliftingRN replied to Jules0612's topic in School

    93k for 184 days? What city is this in and what type of school? From what I’ve been reading this is astronomically higher than average school nursing pay. What is everyone else doing wrong?!
