I am an LPN with some urgent care experience. I am looking to move into a clinic or school setting to get away from the weekend and evening hours. My interests include ENT, Dermatology, Women's Health and possibly School Nursing.

I love that there are so many options in the nursing field and would love to hear about the ins and outs from anybody in these specialties.

What state are you in? Many states require RN/RN-BSN to be a school nurse.

MN. You are correct, however from what I have heard, many districts here hire LPN's for each school and have an RN/LSN oversee them, but not always on site.

Depends on the state. Some states will not title an LPN as a nurse but "health care assistant" and open the role to EMT, medic, CNA, or LPN.

The title does not matter to me. Just looking at the opportunity/role in general.
