I left nursing two years ago due to the needs of family members. That situation has changed, but I didn't go back to work. I decided to let my license go inactive this October at renewal time. I just don't see myself working anymore at all, let al...

I have to comment on the poster who said that teachers, etc. have similar issues when leaving in an emergent situation...no, they don't. Teachers have no issues with being absent, leaving school during the day, or otherwise being treated like a huma...

You might look into Utilization & Review, scheduling, insurance companies, or telephone triage. Hope you recover, that sounds so painful !

This thread is hilarious..thanks for the laugh. But, really, I am disturbed that anyone would ask this. Makes me wonder what else they would falsify if they were desperate. Just sayin...

It has been awhile since your post, but thought I would comment..In the clinic where I worked as an RN, unlicensed people called themselves nurses and called in Rx. I did bring this to the attention of management, who did nothing for several years. ...

How do they get anyone to work? I'm thinking I would not do it for $70/day..then taxes come out? Where do you all live? Is this a public school?

$135/day. 8 hr day. In Nebraska.

Not in Nebraska..

It is what you make of it. Nothing is perfect.

Yes I would, for all the reasons you mention. I got my BSN at age 36. I worked til last June, now I am 55, mostly retired..subbing as a school nurse once in awhile. My husband was career military, we had three college educations to pay for. The b...

I am subbing..resigned my FT school nurse position last year. I enjoy it. The district has quite a few subs, so haven't worked that much.

Oh sorry, I forgot that part.... I traveled between schools... Luckily, I had 15 minutes between lunch times for the students, so I could go and take care of them myself. I had back up from another school nurse, or parent coverage when I could not...

It is no surprise to me that a non-medical group of people are making medical decisions. What else is new? As an elementary school nurse I refused to delegate injecting insulin to unlicensed persons at school. By law in the state of Nebraska, it ...

Today is our 3rd. We have to make up 2 of them.

Business casual. I would love to wear scrubs, though--for comfort, and so that I don't look like the teachers. I would rather be immediately identifiable as the nurse.:)

The state of NE mandates that screening be done the first quarter of the school year. I screen grades K-6 on one day or 2 half-days per school ( I have 3 elementary schools with a total of around 800 kids) with parent help. Screening laws will chan...

Retiring ASAP. (Hopefully this is my last year)..... As soon as my financial planner (husband!) says I can. I am 54. Lots of family need help...I feel like I have 2 full time jobs, so would like to ditch my nurse job and just be available for family....

Reagan Republican here.

-Are you a RN or LPN? RN (BSN) -How long did it take to find a job as a school nurse? a friend told me of the vacant position,so I didn't really look at all -What education is needed to become a school nurse? IMO=BSN would be most useful -Do most sch...

I know what you mean about being disappointed in school staff (and administration)..that kind of thing happens at my schools also. Health Office=dumping ground. But just let me ask something of them (teachers, mainly) ....and they usually can't be ...

Dear RN4WeeOnes I can echo some of the same sentiments as SWS RN and luvmykidz=I am not challenged, I am bored, and I feel like an outsider.. add to that : the schedule isn't so important to me because my children are grown. Why I do not feel value...

I am in my 3rd year of school nursing. I don't like working in the world of education - if I were younger, I would go back to the hospital. School nursing is a LOT less stress, but I really don't feel like my presence is valued or respected. Yes, t...

I would guess that the availability of Peds office jobs will likely vary depending on your location. Do you have access to something like Careerlink.com ? I am in the middle of America and there are Peds office jobs here. Some offices like RNs to...

Prior to starting as an elementary school nurse, I worked for nine years in a pediatrics office. That experience serves me well almost every single day at school. My hospital experience - 8 years in OB. Just my opinion, but I think a few years exp...
