2nd Jobs for School Nurses

Hi all,

Posted a couple times about my interest in becoming a school nurse but I was wondering how many school nurses work a PRN job or a part time job during the weekends, school breaks, or Summer break?

I usually work Summer school.  Honestly, it's easy money and I get a chance to get my files ready.  This year I was not permitted to work or do paperwork, so I'm taking the issues in the fall file by file and day by day.  I have worked PRN positions in the past and currently I work at a call in type job for my PD, but that has nothing to do with being a nurse.  That job is my "gas money" job.

I don't - I usually work at a theater Summer camp for a couple of weeks in a non-nursing role to earn a little extra money.

This Summer, however, I worked all Summer for my school (remote in June/July, in person since early August) looking ahead to the fall prep with COVID. They did pay me for the extra work, thankfully.

Until recently, I was the supervising nurse in an assisted living (10 hours a week).   Now I work one weekend a month at a nursing home.  It works out well.
