  1. Are you planning to retire from public schools?

    When did you start working in the public schools? I'm on the same retirement, mtrs, and the grid I'm looking at is definitely not as good as whatever you have! The best deal I'm looking at is to stay for 30 years. Vested after 10 years, but you get ...
  2. Are you planning to retire from public schools?

    I'm in MA and the earliest age they offer to start collecting is 60. The percentage is way lower though. You're better off waiting just 2-3 more years. The only way to get the 80% is 30 years of service and 65 or older. The percentage goes down fr...
  3. Hi, I work in a public school that has (what I think) is a good/decent pension. For me to get the best benefit out of it, I should stay a total of 30 years (I'd be 63 when I retire with a decent pension). For those of you in public schools that hav...
  4. certificaiton exam

    Hi all, This is going to be the year that I plan to take the certification exam. I was trying to find a copy of the study book from the NASN website and it seems they don't sell it anymore. For all who took the exam recently, what was the most help...
  5. camp meds

    Hi Everyone, What does your camp do for medication administration? Has anyone ever had "camp meds" pre package their campers medications (or the parents are supposed to do it)? It looks like a great service and I would hope my camp moves in that dir...
  6. casts, braces, pe restrictions

    I totally agree with your responses. The rationale, as I understand it, is that the kids and the other staff can't be trusted. The kids can say "yes I understand" when you tell them not to run or jump etc, but they're kids, they'll do it anyway. An...
  7. casts, braces, pe restrictions

    Hi, I'm curious what you all do with students who have broken or "sprained" limbs, and have activity restrictions per the md? What we do: no gym or any other specials that involve physical exercise (students go to another special like art or music)...
  8. International travel?

    THanks for the info. I emailed 2 places, one for New Zealand and one for UK. Have you done any of this type of work? I would be travelling with a husband and school age child so school placement for 1 year would be a priority for us. Thanks again...
  9. International travel?

    Hi, Anyone have experience doing any international travel nursing? If so please share, thinking about looking into 1 year contracts.
  10. What to do... Help

    What state are you in? Did I read this correctly, you're the only nurse for 1000 students?
  11. Anyone ever think about getting their NP

    I know, this is what I struggle with, how could I ever part from having all this vacation time??
  12. Anyone ever think about getting their NP

    Anyone ever think about getting their NP? I'm thinking of doing it online, 1 class at a time, may cost 20-30k. Where I work, the cap for school nurses is same as teachers, so far as I can tell, I think I could possibly be making 75-85k in next 5 + ...
  13. How much time do you get for Thanksgiving break?

    Wednesday dismissal at 1200, Thurs/Fri off. Paid (salary)
  14. Interesting Article

    I would have called with 1 visit of c/o blurry vision (even if the kid was a freq flyer). I have learned that it's better to just make the call then to not make the call and something like this happens.
  15. This is my 2nd year in and I'm struggling with the same. I feel lonely and isolated (although I'm not the only nurse, its so busy, no socialization whatsoever, so different from the hospital). The parents drive me nuts. Everything seems like its a...
