Wondering about the look/decor in your middle school health offices. What do you have on the walls? Do you have anything to occupy the students who are waiting? Where do they put their books when they come in? Anything else you can think of? Pics? thanks in advance!

The district I sub in has a student with similar medical needs. He has a 1:1 agency nurse and a district employee as his 1:1 classroom aide.

Can’t thank u enough for taking the time to respond and give me all these questions and scenarios. I’m most appreciative! It appears my subbing days have paid off. I feel like I have seen or heard of many of these scenarios firsthand. Many thanks for the good luck wishes.

Hi, I’m finishing up my School Nurse Cert (required in NJ) and will hopefully be interviewing soon. i understand the interview questions are very different than what you’d see in a hospital interview. I’m told it’s tons of situation type questions. Anyone have any they want to share or know where I can look some up? I want to be prepared. Thank you!

Alex, thank you for your detailed response and for all the great questions you brought up. My girls will be 7 and 10. The little one is outgoing, athletic and up for new adventures. The older one is slower to warm up and not sports-oriented. But she does like the outdoors - swimming, kayaking, stand up paddle boarding etc. also likes crafts and computers if that helps. So really, I am not as concerend about the 7 year old as I am about the 10 year old. Co-ed or girls only is fine - no preference. As for my working conditions, I am flexible - but would most likely prefer another nurse with me as it's my first experience with camp nursing. Also would be interested in camps that offer 2,3 or 4 week opportunities. I dwill by want to commit to anything longer in case it's not for us. Also, is it a full PA license i need? I thought I read somewhere the camp gets an emergency or temp one or something like that on my behalf. Thank you again.

Also my profile reflects old jobs - I'm currently working as a school nurse.

Looking to do a short term sleepaway summer camp next year in NEPA that I can bring my girls to. There are SO many in the Pocono area. If anyone can make a recommendation or tell me who to stay away from i would greatly appreciate it. Also, what's the best time of year to apply? thanks so much

I'm in NJ where Certified nurses get paid on the teachers scale. Most schools in northern NJ where I have been looking start in the high 50's or low 60's depending on how much education you have. I think starting at $58k for example is great for working 8-3, M-F for 10 months with no weekends, holidays, nights etc. A week off at Christmas and not having to work in a blizzard are added bonuses! I sub in districts where the nurse has been there 20+ years and hit longevity pay and earn over $100k

I can't open the link - do we get CEUs for taking it? How much does it cost?
-
Yes! Long term sub rate! That's what I'm looking for. Thanks so much!

Hi, I've been subbing in the schools for a little over a year. I get paid a per diem rate. There is a full time nurse who is going out on leave and I have been asked if I want to "fill in" for three months. heres my concern. It doesn't feel right to do the work of a full timer while being paid my paltry per diem rate. Are per diems "allowed" to work that many hours? I thought after working certain amt of hours in a pay period you are considered part time or full time. How do I ask for more money? Im in NJ if that has any bearing on anything.

I love field trips! But that's because I'm a sub and that's usually when they call me. ;-) I'm currently in school for my school Nurse Certification (it's required here in Jersey) and I just study on the bus. Some of the trips have been fun, too!
-
Does anyone work as a part time school nurse? Or are you the full time school nurse who has a part time school nurse on your staff? Ive applied to a few part time jobs and they seem to want to just pay me the sub per diem rate and it kind of makes me feel a little like they are taking advantage of me. Who knows, though. I could be wrong. What are part time school nurses paid where you are?
