School Nurse Salary?

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.

Approximately $34,000 a year, 37.5 hours a week, 187 days in Southwest Ohio. Summers and holidays off which allows precious time with my little one makes it all worth it! :)

Dallas, TX Some districts within 5-10 miles of each other pay or don't pay for previous hospital experience. I left one to get my pay and then came to a district within 3 miles of my home. So for 29 yrs= 60K. Elem 730-4, approx 600. On teacher pay scale and retirement. Insurance is outrageously high but the summers off and weekend, etc and off with husband teacher is worth it.

We're on the teacher's pay scale. I started out on Step 2 without a bachelor's degree and came out with around $31,000 (180ish days). Next year, with my bachelor's, I'll be at a Step 3 and that will bring in around $36,500 or something close to it. I keep my PRN job at the hospital because I can make the same amount I make in a month at the school in about 4 days. But, the perks of no holidays/weekends/summer are pretty sweet. Haven't determined if it's totally worth it yet, since this is my first year as a school nurse.
