The first thing to do is go on line to your state's Department of Education and see what the requirements are to be a school nurse. Here in Colorado you have to have at least a BSN. Do you love children? School nursing is more than just band-aids. There is a lot of social work involved as well as nursing. Case loads vary from responisbility for one school to as many as 10 or 12 schools. School nursing can also be very political. It is sometimes the first area to get a budget cut. You work with a variety of ages (students, teachers, staff, and parents). Good luck. It is very worth persuing.
