   Can anyone chime in on Chicago (or suburbs surrounding Chicago) school nurse salary?

   Arizona,
   
   First year as school nurse. Three years a nurse and former paramedic. Pay is low at $ 36,000 year paid over 10 months. The hours work with my children so for me it is worth the low pay. It is exciting to be able to help families find resources in the community that will help them maintain their health!

   @schoolRNapril:
   Are you still in Indiana? My superintendent is planning on doing a salary survey and I wondered which county you are in? Indiana varies widely, so I'm looking for a lot of input.
   Thanks! If you can pm me that would be great

   IL (Chicago suburbs)- $25K/yr spread out over 12 months, so I only end up bringing home $750 twice a month after taxes. I absolutely LOVE the benefits, so Im trying not to complain or be negative about the pay

   I'm an LPN in GA, I am on a salary, but the salary changes depending on how many days they decide they are going to have that school year. I was making $32, 000, but now only make $30, 000 basically, I get $20/hr.

   24K in north Atlanta
   
   I get summers off, spring break, fall break, winter break, etc. I work 8-3 on school days and it's fairly slow paced (most days!)
   
   RN at a private school of just under 400 students. It's the lowest salary I've ever made but the most satisfying job I've ever had. I love my students, my co-workers, and my families. And this job works beautifully with my family schedule. My daughter goes to school here so I'm only at work when she's in school. If she has a snow day, so do I. I'm off when she's off in the summer and for holidays. It's really just a perfect scenario for our family.

    Bump up this year to $52K in MA. But I work 9 hour days (8-5 PM), 10 months a year, paid over 12 months. I do qualify for teacher's retirement, which is awesome.

    This is my third year as a school nurse in MA. I'm at $44,500 for the year. I work at a charter school M-F 8-5. I do not work summers or holiday breaks. I also qualify for teacher's retirement.

    Let me put it this way..The custodians and Special Ed Aides make more than i do.
    
    I took a HUGE cut in pay from a hospital salary to be here.
    
    However, I have great benefits, (Medical/dental/life insurance.) I am in a union and they have a lot of negotiating power.
    
    I also love having the same days off as my son, 12 days off at Christmas, etc. And the hours can't be beat! (7:30-3:30)

    Ga - $19,000 for 30 hours/week. Benefits and same schedule as kids makes it worth it.
