SciFiNurse

This is my second year as a school nurse in IL and I recently became a Certified School Nurse which put me onto the Teacher pay scale. This pay scale goes from BSN +10 credits, BSN + 20 credits, Masters (can be almost anything), Masters + 10 credits, Masters + 20 credits, Masters + 30 credits, and Masters + 40 credits. Of course, the more credits you have the more money you make. I'm currently at the BSN + 10 credits (which is what it took to get my School Nursing Certification). I'm looking for a relatively cheap way to get a Masters that could be of some use to me in the future if I decided after so many years to get out of school nursing. I have always thought I would enjoy public health, etc. I would prefer not to get a Masters in Nursing for a variety of reasons. I would love something that wouldn't get me too much more in debt as I already have student loans and I'm not a spring chicken... :) Anybody have any ideas of a decent school that is not terribly expensive that may offer a degree I'm interested in? I've already looked at Western Governor's University, which offers a pretty good price, but just not in a degree I'm really interested in. I would love some other suggestions...

You can also sign up with your local State Nurse's Board - if you sign up with NASN, you will probably automatically get membership into your state Association of School Nursing and they may post school nursing jobs... mine does for Illinois Association of School Nurse's (IASN)...
