Just wanted to say hi and introduce my new job. I am now a Clinical Assistant to a school district where my children go to. I graduated from the district too, so it helps out that I know the schools and such.
So far, it's hard work, doing the typical stuff I did in my old job, but this time I'm not by myself. I am currently working with RNs and I love them all. I am in a float position, so each day I go to different schools, which in total I got to 6 schools, all elementary. I got to choose what age group and that's what I choose. I get to visit my boy's school too, so that's fun sometimes.
As of right now, I'm also part of a screening team, where all the CAs are separated into teams and put to a bunch of schools for two days out of the week until the end of October, and we just screen. It's gone really well, and fast! I honestly wish I had this in my last job.

Congrats! I know it's hard to glean tone from a block of text, but I feel like I can sense your stress level has declined from last year a great deal. And also, Welcome Back!!
Oh yeah. it's way lower. I do deal with what I usually had last year, but it's easier when I have a partner. They are really kind and fun to be with. We just chat and have fun basically.
Today I'm at my boy's school and the nurse is HILARIOUS. She and I have the same sense of humor, so it helps and we just chat.

Excellent. Happy you were able to find something in the school system. Enjoy working where the bottom line isn't profit and enjoy staying out from under the bus.
Oh yeah, I am very enjoying that. I am responsible to help the nurse, but she's one in charge. Like I'm invisible and I love it. Something is wrong? Talk to the nurse! Oh, I'm missing a day? It's okay, I'm not the nurse!
