I'm hoping to get into school nursing within the next two years, and in scrolling through indeed and other job boards it looks like school nurses are paid horribly in NY. Not badly, but downright horribly. I saw a job in Oceanside paying $38,000. That's living in your car and eating cat food money in LI!
I know school nursing isn't the highest paying specialty, but is there anywhere in NY that pays closer to what a nurse deserves to be paid?
They have pizza in Chicago now?? Not just that thick stuff they call "pizza?"
Sorry not this girl, I like my abeez with a paper thin crust, thank you very much!!! But Chi town is on my list of places to go so I let ya know when I'm in town!
This is such a misconception! Real Chicagoans (at least the on the South Side- think SNL's Super Fans) eat thin crust.
We also have Italian Beef and Polish Sausage that'll blow your mind.
If you're up for moving...my thoughts are that Huntington Township in Suffolk county would pay better. I doubt the Northport school system nurses starved and I remember, you'd starve on $38K even in the '90's !!!
I guess I'm passing on my home state of NY and will be applying in NJ for the upcoming school year. I'm looking at NJ certifications now (Rutgers, TCONJ, etc). Please PM me with any advice or networking. :) Yous guys are the best.
