Do any of you LVNs that are school nurses have a supervisor if you are the only nurse on campus? I have started a new job as school nurse and have read that LVNs have to have some sort of supervision. How do you handle this if you are the only nurse on campus?

After being a clinic nurse for almost 13 years I am starting a new job next Monday as a school nurse. I'm VERY excited. I know it will be a huge change from what I'm used to. I look forward to working with the kids and to having some diversity in my days as I seem to get into a rut here quite often. Jinny

I make relatively decent pay in the clinic I work in for this area. I make more than some nurses at the local hospitals. Of course, I have been with the same PA for 12 years so that's mainly due to merit raises and such. Considering it is much closer to home than the hospitals, the hours are decent, and gas prices are what they are it's not bad at all. Plus I'm home with my kids in the evenings and weekends.

I have worked in a rurla health clinic for the last 12 years. I love the patients. I have grown cloae to a lot of them seeing them every month. I have also watched a lot of our babies grow up and have enjoyed that. However, it gets a bit monotonous at times and I feel like I'm i na rut. I especially miss the experience I was getting in the hospital setting. I am currently taking courses through excelsior and the thought of CPNE terrifies because I feel so behind o nthe times. I must admit though...8-5 Monday through Friday is pretty nice. :) Jinny

Thank goodness all Texas lists is name, city, and zip. It does list the expiration date, date of licensure, and disciplinary actions if any.
