My large high school district has SNAP! Very thankful that we do.

[h=1]When Hospital Paperwork Crowds Out Hospital Care[/h] Here is an opinion piece about how paperwork in a hospital can take precedence over patient care.

Truly spot on!! Read the article last night and was thrilled that someone was able to describe such.

We have SNAP in our large high school/middle school district (4 individual schools with approximately 6,200 students). SNAP meets and exceeds all HIPAA and FERPA requirements. HIPAA compliance is achieved by automatically auditing all edits to stude...

Originally I worked as a substitute for Horizon Healthcare (school nurse substitute agency).They kept me very busy in elementary, middle & high schools. I found that being a substitute prior to taking on a full time position was beneficial.This e...

What is your nurse to student ratio? I work as a school nurse in a high school in Long Island, New York. My school has 1100 students enrolled and I am the only RN in the school. Our district has 3 other high school, also with an RN on site and a sec...

Do you have a lunch break? Do you leave the building?

This is an issue at my school as well. In our contract we are supposed to have a "duty free 50 minute lunch break". However, my principal expects me to stay in the building. Our compromise is that I leave but stay no further than one block away. This...

$50,000 step 5. Started at $42,000. I am employed in a high school with 1,100 students.

Hello everyone, I am employed in a high school with 1100 students. In my district each school has one RN and a secretary in the health office. Please read my post requesting info from others regarding nurse to student ratios etc. Thankfully we have...

I was accepted as well! Congrats to all admitted and good luck to all still waiting!

Congratulations!!!!

I agree with wingding, you passed. I also passed with 75 questions and was convinced I failed! I cried on and off for 48 hours! My poor family. Cried again when I learned that I had passed.

This is an interesting topic and I agree that we will see an increase of interest in understanding more about the link between Psychiatric and Gastrointestinal disorders. In addition, there has been an increase of interest in research focused on Auti...

ennovy05, Yes, a three year program will be more manageable. I recently completed an RN to BSN online program. I completed almost 100% of the coursework at the library or Starbucks. Actually found that I was more productive at Starbucks. Something ab...

Given the choice, I would choose part time enrollment. If the choice was not available, then I would come up with a game plan to make it work. I also read a few of the posted discussion threads about this topic. Some included helpful suggestions from...

Last October I completed an RN to BSN program online. I work full time and have school age children. During the majority of the 8 week sessions, I was enrolled in one course at a time. There were a few sessions that I took two courses at a time and i...

I worked as a substitute for Horizon Healthcare ( a school nurse substitute agency) in multiple schools. They kept me very busy in elementary, middle & high schools. I found that being a substitute prior to taking on a full time position was bene...

I would also search on Monster and Indeed. I found that sometimes the positions were not posted on OLAS. Include in your search "school district nurse". I worked for Horizon Healthcare (a sub agency for LI & I believe NYC) for a six months befor...

I wonder how many applicants have been accepted thus far? Or any?

Good luck!!!

Santy, were you contacted about an interview??? If not, perhaps email to inquire?

Santy, I was very nervous and hopefully it was not overtly obvious to all. First we interviewed privately and then in a group. As others have mentioned, general questions were asked, nothing unusual. The campus, hospital and school of nursing is very...

New boy, I just hope that they send out decisions soon after the interview process is complete. Waiting is truly horrible and I am nervous as well!!

Thank you and good luck to everyone!!
