1. Feeling conflicted

   sippee replied to sippee's topic in School

   Your comment is a big help! I have often thought whether or not I may be idealizing it. I know there are a few things I'm not willing to return to such as taking call. I do get bored easily and find that often times I just need a change. I could try...

2. Feeling conflicted

   sippee posted a topic in School

   I don't know what to do. I have been a school nurse for 5 years now and although I don't love it, I don't hate it either. Right now I have an awesome situation working close to home, great school, staff etc. but I hate the responsibility this role ha...

   sippee replied to KSM-RN's topic in School

   Holken 99 I felt the exact same way my second year. Lots of anxiety that I never had in the OR. After having a few years under my belt I still feel vulnerable at times. Mostly because on top of the stress of doing your job, nurses are never informed...

   sippee replied to sippee's topic in School

   Holken 99 ....Now your post could also be written by me because I also go back and forth and can't seem to make up my mind. I can tell you I don't work another job and I do enjoy the summers off !! They are nice :). Sometimes though I do feel like I ...

8. Aesthetic Nurse Training

   sippee replied to Jchaivisut's topic in Aesthetics

   Can I ask what state you are in ? I live in RI and I'm hearing the np, pa, and md do it themselves and don't delegate it out to RN's.

   sippee posted a topic in School

   This is my forth year as a school nurse. The first year it was great! Awesome schedule, autonomy, summers off! I was an OR nurse so not having to take call was great. That being said it wasn't a year later that I started to miss the OR. Don't get me ...

    That was a beautiful story which echoed my feelings exactly!! Being a school nurse isn't what people perceive. It is stressful and crazy at times.

14. Should I quit my 2nd job? How many work 2 jobs here?

    sippee replied to CampNurse10's topic in School

    do you have school aged children? is it worth it for you to stay? That's my biggest reason. I would give it more time ( although i have and it hasn't gotten much better) stay per diem until you are sure.

    I have two school age children. The local ymca provides childcare at 7:00 at the earliest. Curious what others do with their children if they work 7-3 day shift?
