Yes there are (or atleast I was told there was) but I'm not sure where to find it. I live in Texas

and worked as an LVN in the school for several years. My boss came to me and told me I was getting a raise because they discovered they were paying their lvn's under the minimum but I obtained my RN shortly after that and have started receiving RN salary. Have you checked the TEA website?

My job literally fell into my lap. I applied to the school district just on a whim while in between jobs and they had a school nurse quit like the next day. It helped tremendously that I attended that same school district and my bosses were my former teachers. It's actually kind of hard to get into. They don't open up too often because people normally hang on to these jobs for dear life for all the time off and stable hours. If you get on the sub list in some districts it helps to get your foot in the door that way if a position opens up you will already be trained, have the background check, etc.
