I asked for a small conference that cost the district $55 + mileage and got it and plan to ask for another one similar pricing during the summer. I don't think my school will pay for a big conference...
Let me just say how jealous I am right now! I guess come August when I'm still laying on a beach with 4 weeks til school starts again I'll feel better. We have 42 days left here. 8 and a half weeks...
First let me say I love my job. I have been a School Nurse for less than a year and I am thrilled but this has been an exhausting week and it has almost nothing to do with Nursing. My To Do List of...
I like both actually. There are some kids who call me "nurse" some who call me Nurse mylastname , some who call me Mrs. mylastname and even a few who call me Aunt myfirstname because I have some of...
We are just back from Spring Break this morning and I am ready for a busy day. mustlovepoodles I am so jealous you only have 6 weeks 3 days left. We dont end school until late in June so 10 more...
For anyone willing to share I am trying to get an idea of how many personal/sick days you get as the school nurse per year. I just got my contract and I am hoping to negotiate less sick days and more...

I think it's great! I have a brittle diabetic whose numbers dont make sense and I would do any type of systme if I thought it would help. He's been diagnosed over 4 years and he goes from 375 to 67...
If this was an essay I would whole heartedly agree but for a cover letter I have to disagree. Cover letters are what get your resume read I see no issue with others helping you write it. As a...
I was a Recruiter for 15 years. I had to cull through hundreds of resumes everyday so here's my advice and thoughts for you: -your cover letter determines whether or not I am even reading your resume...

The money is not the best but I am home to get my son off the bus each day, off for a week at Christmas, Presidents Day and Easter and I have the summer off. It's not easy but I love the kids, love...
Depends on the state. NY state does not require certification. I think they should because it really would be helpful to take classes directly related to school nursing before starting. I would...
I will really only be the nurse for the diabetic student on this trip. A nurse is not required for the other students. If another student needs something small then of course I will help but my only...
Just wanted to get everyone's thoughts on this. I am considering going along on an overnight field trip this spring with my school as the Nurse so that a diabetic student can attend. His parents...
Hope the metting with the principal goes well. Just clearly explain everything the way you did here and I don't see any reason why you could be faulted. You herad of an incident, assessed and...
5th grade boy came in 2 days ago after recess and says his pinkie hurts, he hit it during recess. I look at it and it's not swollen or misshapen. He lets me feel it and there's notihg that seems out...
I do have malpractice insurance on my own as well as coverage through the school. The student is 11 and was diagnosed 4 years ago. He does his own testing and injections but he is immature and does...
When I went to college studying Nursing we did touch on Scope of Practice but we were not taught it in depth or tested on it most probably because most of us were not going to become Nurses in the...
I am in a very small school so information gets passed easily (sometimes too easily if you ask me). I do attendance and dismissal as well as being the nurse so it helps me to see who has a lot of...
