  1. School Nurse jobs

    I would also suggest checking out any private schools in your area. Many private schools have their own nurses who are not part of the local school district and as such may have a harder time recruiting nurses and substitutes.
  2. Visits per Day

    I am the school nurse for 650 students from preschool - 8th grade. I usually see between 30-40/day, but now that it is flu season its been between 50 and 60. Keeps me busy!
  3. Education Required to Become a School Nurse

  4. Do you ever have good days as a nurse?

  5. Ready to work in Nevada

  8. What do you wear at work...?

    I wear scrubs 99% of the time. I can wear business casual clothing, but I am usually too lazy to drag out the iron. Not too mention I don't have very much business casual attire. I do have a nametag that I am required to wear.
  9. Dreading work, feeling like a fake

    Hang in there, it will get better. As a new grad I would be sick to my stomach and anxious before every shift. I didn't think I was cut out for nursing, and contemplated giving it up. But, slowly I did start to gain confidence in myself and my ski...
  10. What's the funniest thing you've heard a patient say?

    One night aroung midnight as I was making my rounds I heard one of my patients hearing aids whistling. I went in his room to investigate and found him trying to put his hearing aid in. I said to him "it's midnight, why are you putting your hearing ...

  13. School Nurses - "ouch reports"
