  6. question---How many?

    Those numbers sound about right. They're not seeing as many students in the middle school and high school because either they're not keeping accurate counts or the teachers just know that there's not...

    For those who have been involved in a situation such as this in the past/present or even just asking your opinion: If a 1:1 student has a private duty nurse coming in with them daily, should the...
  8. Presentation for area Pediatric Offices

    I feel like that was written by a secretary, not the doctor. Sigh... Sometimes it helps if I give them a copy of my district medication orders. It's fill in the blank, so not much room to mess

    Nope. I inform them that this is a good life lesson
  11. Toileting pre-k a nursing function?

    My health aid though is not a nurse. So I think that's where the barriers for her exist. She's mainly seen as a catchall secretary,
  12. SO many school nurse positions available right now

    I'm going the opposite way...from full time these last 5 years to subbing next year. MA is a little too long of a commute for me though

  14. SO many school nurse positions available right now

    There aren't a lot of openings in my immediate area, BUT my state does not require a nurse in every school-lots of schools get away with having unlicensed personnel sitting in the health office or...
  15. Packet for incoming Kindergarten students

    I give out packets that include copies of the mandated medical paperwork that is needed and a letter with a checklist that spells out word for word what is
  16. Toileting pre-k a nursing function?

    In most schools, it's seen as a nurse's responsibility and is a losing battle. I don't work in the health office of the elementary school I am in charge of, but my health aid has told me stories....
  17. When do I tell them?

    If I know now that I will not be returning to my position next year, when do you feel is the appropriate time frame to inform admin? February/March? Sooner?
  18. When do I tell them?

    I'm not particularly worried about them giving me the
  19. When do I tell them?

    Absolutely true! And I suppose if you have it, you can put that license on hold, you have your MSN and will still move up in the salary schedule AND can use the NP later if you

    I can't remember when and where I heard this, but I had thought nurse practitioners were advised to put that license on hold while practicing as a registered nurse in the school setting due to...
  24. Love school nursing, but can't pay my bills.

    Wow. I said it in an earlier post and I'll say it again...the amount that they pay some school nurses is an insult. It's an insult to our skill set and our profession. I'm sorry that you're in this...
  25. School nursing and benefits

    Yep. It really is an insult. We have 2 middle to upper middle class towns nearby who pay their nurses between $17-22 per hour. In contrast, we have a very lower class district that pays close to $30...
