I had an interview today for a school nurse position & was shocked at how low the pay is. Money isn't everything but it would be a big change for me. I've been an RN for almost 19 years & I'm ready for change. I know I would love having summers & holidays off, no call, no mandating etc. Do most of you that work as school nurses like your job? I know since COVID things have been more stressful but that has been the case for every nurse out there. What are the pros & cons? Any advice would be helpful!

And I agree 100% with what you said...I watched one nurse who was super intimidating to new nurses but couldn't even spell good :-/

I'm so sorry to hear about your husband. I can only imagine what you are going through and I honestly don't have an answer for you...I wish I did but I don't! The only thing I think is that as time goes on you'll maybe know if you can or you can't. Again so sorry

A lot of nurses forget that at one time they too were new...I have a huge problem with nurses who think they're better or smarter than the next! I'm an experienced nurse who has oriented new nurses and student nurses and I enjoy teaching. The ER is a stressful place and although it might not be for everyone nobody should ever be made to feel like they're a burden to other nurses because they're new. That's why nursing is so stressful these days...bad attitudes to others!!!
