Attention GA school nurses

Hi! I'm doing a little investigating this summer....I was wondering if y'all could help me out?

My school has a REALLY low school nurse salary. I know the national average for school nurses are about $38,000 but I'm trying to get information on the average GEORGIA school nurse salary. I'm not being nosey...just trying to compile information for the BOE to help us girls get a higher salary. The RNs get paid the same as the LPNs! And it doesn't matter if you have 200 students or 1200...still all the same pay.

The starting salary here (in rural north east GA) is $20,000 and the cap (25 years) is $25,000!!!

Please respond ASAP as I return to school on July 31st. If you don't wish to post here, please e-mail me @ [email protected].

Thanks! Enjoy the remainder of your summer!

That is slightly more than I'm getting if my math is correct.

I'm going to be doing some school nursing, but here in South Florida most people only do it through agencies. So, the pay would be higher...than say if the state were paying them. Currently, I make $21.50 with Maxim...so I will expect that pay range in a school as well.
