Thank you for taking the time to respond. I appreciate it. I thought the requirement of having the state certification was extreme for a sub position and I thought I only needed a county cert. Thank you for confirming that!

Quick question if no one minds. I explored school nursing a few months ago and everyone was very helpful. It's just not in the cards right now to go back to school for certification. there is an opening on my kids districts website for Subatitut...

I know there are multiple threads complaining about the length of time it takes the NJ BON to issue licenses, but I am wondering if anyone has had success RECENTLY getting a NJ LIC by endorsement. And if so how long did it take? thanks so much in ...

Just got home and checked - 15 days after I applied and the fingerprint letter arrived at my house. GL!

Sorry I am just seeing this post now. When I get home I can check my file on this and let you know - I was diligent in keeping a log of all dates pertaining to my license endorsement just in case! The only thing I do recall off the top of my he...

Just thought I'd update - I got my license number in just over 6 weeks. didnt have to do anything special - no phone calls, no trips to Newark, etc. good luck to those who are still waiting.

What does your complete assessment charting look like? I am currently in sub acute rehab and I don't think it's very thorough. Thank you in advance.

Is electronic submission always faster? A few people told me paper app was quicker because once it hits someone's desk they tend to it right away. i did electronic and my friend did paper and hers was mailed one day earlier. We shall see! if yo...

sorry you are in the same boat as me. I'm getting a bad feeling I will lose my job offer over this. í ½í¸¢

No, I didn't know about this. Thank you for sharing. I must have missed it on the website! Thank you for letting me know. Is it literally like "hi, I have a NY license, here it is" and I get temp jersey one?

School nursing is appealing as i would be off in the summers with my kids, but since I would be working roughly the same hours as my kids I feel like i would need morning childcare to get them off to school and after school childcare to get them home...

What a great group here! I appreciate you all taking the time to respond.

Thanks for taking the time to respond. Is it easy to get a substitute school nurse certification? Do I do this by county or is it statewide? And I would LOVE to sub for you! I'm in Union County! ;-)

How did all you guys end up at your kids schools???? That is awesome! Man, that would solve all my concerns!!

What did you have to do in NJ and where did you go? Any details would be greatly appreciated! I am in nj and thinking of going for certification! Thank you so much!

Ill lwt you know if I hear anything - please do the same! Also, do you know the starting salary there these days??

Bumping.....I live fairly close to JFK, have experience but never get a call back. So I'm curious as well!

I have been considering becoming a school nurse on and off for the past year. I keep getting frustrated that research tells me I'm going to have to go to school to the tune of $14000-$35000 depending on the school to obtain the certification. A...

Yes, certification required. Im just surprised that certification is so costly at the state schools in Nj. im hoping someone in jersey can show me a better path!

Don't transfer anything in unless it's an A. Take the 4 pre-reqs the nursing dept requires and get A's in them. When it comes time to admit people to the program they start at 4.0 and start adding people to the program. Usually the program s...

I believe $33 or $34/hour at my facility to start. Plus there is a differential for eves and nights. GL

Aside from getting the required certification for my state, what is the best plan of attack if I want to get a school nurse job within the next couple of years? Schmooze with principals? Get a peds job? I currently have sub-acute rehab and supervis...

Thank you Farawyn - actually I'm NJ now.

Just following up - I did see that the nurses in my county do indeed follow the teachers pay scale. The info is public and I saw that the nurse at my kids school makes $77k. I have no idea how's my years exp she has. This is in NJ.

Flare - is there any way I can find out more specific info? Is the information public anywhere? I'd really like to know if the school nurses in my county are definitely paid on the teachers scale before I pursue this any further. THANK YOU!
