Specialties School

Published

Hi! I posted this question on the general forum, but didn't get much of a response... I'm looking into school nursing, but before I jump from the frying pan and into the fire, I'd like some input from those of you who have some experience in this area. I know it's late (sort of), but I keep getting flyers from agencies looking for school nurses. I live in the NYC area and understand there's lots of work. In any case, what are the ups and downs of school nursing? What are working conditions like (I suppose that they vary widely from school to school)? Why did you go into/avoid this specialty? Any things I should consider before leaping?

I appreciate your input!!! Nicola

I really want to be a school nurse.

First I am debating going to nursing school so I am not quite there yet.

Can you tell me what I need to do to get there?

Do you know of any resources in Arizona where I might be able to get a job?

Will they hire new grads into the field of school nursing?

I want to be able to do what I love to do I love science so I know I will love nursing and I love teaching. I would totally love working with kids. I would love to teach and nurse school kids through everything. I am so excited about it! :)

I admire you all so much!!!!
