I live in a low COL area of California. I am a non-credentialed school nurse (RN) so I'm basically paid LVN wages. I primarily do first aid and med administration. I am not involved in any care plans or meetings. I hold down the fort while the credentialed nurse is away, she does the bulk of the work for her five schools. The pay is fine for the area, and honestly it's appropriate for what I do. The pay is low but livable but we aren't taking any lavish trips on my income. I do have the luxury (luck?) of a husband with a well paying job which is how I can afford to stay.

A Credentialed School Nurse (BSN+PHN Certificate+1 year SN Credential program) is considered management and paid accordingly....the high end of the pay scale is just over six figures. It varies by district and my district does pay exceptionally well. Its one of the reasons people stay until they retire. I'm basically waiting for someone to retire so I can take their spot.

Hello!

First time poster and newly certified in school nursing. I am currently looking for employment in NJ and was wondering about salary salary negotiation if you get an offer. Is it an "it is what it is" or can you hold out for more? Also do they count your years of experience as a nurse for the "steps" or are you starting at zero?

Any insight would be greatly appreciated!

Where I am (IL), there was no pay for experience. I started at level one. Very frustrating.

I'm not in NJ, but in my district in IN, years of exp. do count towards steps, to a max. I started at step 3 for 3 years of experience. There was a RN who started with me with 15 years exp. and they started her at step 5. We have a 12 step scale.
