I just switched from bedside to a school about 2 weeks ago. I've already had a whole week off for Thanksgiving which makes me already love this schedule. The ONLY thing I miss about three 12s is...
I want to thank you all so much for your replies. The students made me feel like I was mean and crazy for not giving them any little thing that they wanted. A teacher told me that the previous nurse...
Hi! I've been a nurse for about a year and a half now and I felt exactly the way you're describing. I felt like it wasn't normal to feel that way and I felt that I was unique in that I had a nursing...
Hi everyone!! I just accepted a job as a school nurse in a middle school of about 900 kids. I'm really excited to work in this type of setting but I'm also very nervous that I'll panic over emergent...

I've been a nurse for a little over a year now in general medicine at a very small hospital with no other specialties. I want to go into women's health and/or NICU and I put that in my cover letter....
Oh, my one year is in general medicine. Thanks for your tips! I’ve sent out what feels like a million applications with no call backs. It’s getting a bit discouraging but I’m going to try and...

Thank you all for your input. I originally planned to be there at least a year and as I started getting more comfortable I began considering staying a bit longer. Unfortunately, a lot has changed...
Hi everyone! I'm in school for my BSN and I am doing an assignment to get a better understanding of informatics nursing. For this assignment, I have to interview someone with the title "nursing...
Hi, I recently got offered a school nurse position but this was a few weeks ago. Nothing has happened since. I followed up with HR and she said a decision hasn't been made yet. But this was last...
I just got offered a job as a school nurse which I'm really excited about. I knew there would be a pay cut but I didn't expect it to be 25k less than what I'm making now. I still want to say yes but I...

Hello everyone! I took my NCLEX July 11th and I passed (whoo hoo!!). I got offered a job but they won't let me start until I have my license number. How long does the process take before your license...
I don't know your whole situation but if I were you, I would assess what went wrong before doing anything else. I started out at a 4 year university doing prereqs and I was nearly dismissed for poor...
