   CSN per 1500 students in PA

   Love214 posted a topic in School

   If there are over 1500 students in a school, do 2 CSN's have to be present at all times (Currently there is 1 CSN, 1 RN and 2 assistants)? If not, does the other CSN have to rotate into that school a certain amount of days or can she periodically check in?

   Is this for me??

   Love214 replied to Love214's topic in School

   Thank you all for your replies. When I went back this year I did realize that I love working with the kids and the hours are great for me and my family. I suppose I just get a little insecure sometimes knowing that this is my first job right out of school. I have made a decision to become more involved with a mentoring program for the kids which will keep me busy! I appreciate you kind words and advice.. thanks again!

   Is this for me??

   Love214 posted a topic in School

   I worked as the staff school nurse at an elementary school last year and going back this year. The job is great, I love the kids, the the hours are great too. But I cannot help but wonder if this is for me. I graduated from school and worked into a LTC facility for a few months when this position fell into my lap. I currently am going back to school for my MSN and possibly my school nurse certification. I just always wonder if this is it. I feel as though I will never know what its like to work in a hospital etc. I am suffering from is the grass greener.... I am in need of encouraging words from school nurse's who have been in my position. Thanks :)

   Requirements in order to be a school nurse

   Love214 replied to NurseNatasha's topic in School

   Thanks bergren!! Everything that you have said is what I am finding out! So I think I am going to take a Bridge program RN to MSN and get a Master's in Nursing Education then go back for School Nurse Certification. I emailed the State Board of Nursing for PA with all of these questions and I was shocked when they said I would need to contact the PA Department of Education. So we shall see ;-) Thank you for your reply!

   Requirements in order to be a school nurse

   Love214 replied to NurseNatasha's topic in School

   Do you know if you can transfer your School Nurse Certification among states?? My situation is that I am an RN with a Bachelor's in Liberal Arts.. so I was going to get my cert. in NJ since PA requires a BSN.

   School Nurse Certification

   Love214 posted a topic in Pennsylvania

   Currently I am a Registered Nurse with a Bachelor's Degree NOT in nursing. I see that Rutgers University in NJ has a School Nurse certification program for people in my position. Does anyone know of any schools in PA where you can take the School Nurse Certification while having a Bachelor's in a different field?? Any information is appreciated! :wink2: Thanks

   failed nclex

   Love214 replied to 102985's topic in NCLEX

   Nori28, hang in there. Take a break from studying. I took mine June 18th and failed. So I went to the beach and rejuvenated myself. In between there were many tears and self-destructive talk, But in the end I was ready to get back on the horse. I have given myself plenty of time until I test again. The hardest thing is keeping positive!!! Its what is in your heart that matters.... when you want it and you'll be good at it, it will happen

    Any 2nd or 3rd time test takers?

    Love214 replied to eosaeni's topic in NCLEX

    I will be taking the NCLEX for the second time in September. I took some time off... and going to get back on the boat to study. Good luck to all those who have not yet beat the NCLEX. We may have failed but we are still fabulous!!!! There should be a seperate group on here for people who have to take it again.
