I work as a school nurse in a high school in Long Island, New York. My school has 1100 students enrolled and I am the only RN in the school. Our district has 3 other high school, also with an RN on site and a secretary in the health office. We are in the process of advocating for another RN to be hired for each school. Ideally, an additional RN, full time for each school. More realistically, another RN, part time in each school or at the worst an RN to cover our lunches and to assist with screenings etc.
Was wondering what the situation is in other school districts. Please reply with details regarding: location of school, type of school, student to RN ratio, if there is an LPN, secretary etc.
