? I've heard more than enough from them. They like opening up to me since I think they don't have any adult to talk to. Thank you for guiding them!

He's a 16 y/o that punched a dean and the security.

- I'm trained to see students who needs pregnancy test and plan Bs in high school. I'm required to ask when was the last intercourse, imagine my internal shock when I heard 10am in a 8am start of school. - Seeing a bottle of rum w/ a chaser after school security checked the student's bag. - Handcuffed students

I've been a school nurse for more than 2 yrs now and I would say that most students with seizure, fractures, anaphylactic and all of them are 911 calls after giving them first aid. Try to cover a school first and see if you would like it. Most agency school nurses has hospital/nursing home jobs and will just cover for a day.

My husband is an LPN working in a clinic, just because you haven't heard them outside NH doesn't mean they cannot work somewhere else. Please be mindful.

The agency let me choose my school. I'm working in HS and so far I'm enjoying it since I work M-F 8-4, Holidays off (I'm not paid - agency) and high schoolers are entertaining. Challenges: - MAFs (Medical Administration Form), I have to call the students/parents to let them know I need them - Admin peeps, they will try to look down on what I'm doing. - Hands being tied (metaphorically), unable to give anything besides ice and band aid, LOL - Difficult students

Hi, I work in Queens area as a HS school nurse. I don't work with DOE or DOH but w/ an agency. Let me know if you have questions.

This! A kitchen staff asked me for a tums and I said I don't have anything and I'm here for the students only and I was transferred to her supervisor claiming "So you said that you're here for the students only? I've been working here for 25 years and it's the first time I heard this". Maybe I'm too straight forward...

Thank you for your insight! I really love this idea!

Thank you. Sure, with agency we have less attachment to schools since agency can pull out us anytime unless I really like the school or admin likes my job (I'm not so sure now LOL). I was informed by my agency that I have to follow dept of health's policy and procedure, if anything medical I can call the agency nursing supervisor if anything related to admin or paper works I have to call the DOH nursing supervisor. Yes, I am employed and paid by agency, they pay more but no pto, no health insurance or benefits. I will apply directly to DOH once I have more experience. I greatly appreciate your reply.

I'm a new agency school nurse in a public HS in NYC. Lately, the teachers and staff are making me nuts, they want me to give them medication (which is not allowed even for students unless they have medication administration form), check their VS and even go down to their class to give first aid. There's even one incident that a teacher want me to change his wound dressing, which I said that he should go to any urgent care or go back to his doctor for that wound. I talked to my nursing supervisor about this and said that I can only call them EMS if they have abnormal vs or any injury which what I've been doing (most of the time they decline). She also said that I should never mentioned that school nurses are not for the staff or teachers but for the students only, but isn't much better to be transparent about it? Like I'm only here for the students, if you're not feeling well go home or go to the hospital, I don't get the "but don't tell them that". How do I handle this? Should I just be transparent? How can I say to admin, teachers and staff that I'm not here for them?

In my state, school nurses are not allowed to give vaccines. I respect your opinion about vaccines, however I highly suggest to not let your personal opinion hinder your work. I understand that you did your own research but so does all the researchers and specialists who put their own career and life to provide us with scientific based and facts of vaccines.
