  10. How many students do you treat on a regular day?

    I typically see 20-30 with 8+ daily meds. My first year as a school nurse I was seeing 50-60 a day. SO happy I was able to put a squash to that! K-4 school, 500
  11. "I want to go home" Story Time

  18. Snow, Where Are You?

    Also from MA...we had 5 straight snow days last year. Cut way into my beach time in June! I'd be happy with one or two this year, but no more than that! Late starts and early dismissals on the...

    We had a pertussis outbreak last year. The department of public health was involved because it is a reportable disease (at least it is in my state). I'd give your local or state health department a...
  20. I have to find my own subs as well. Like others have said, if it is a prearranged day, it usually isn't a problem, but any last minute thing is pretty tough. I was calling around a couple of years...

    Does anyone have their master's degree? I would get a pretty sizable pay increase if I got my master's, but I would want to get it in school nursing and it is difficult to find such a
