   schoolnurse64 replied to schoolnurse64's topic in School

   Thank you! Do you know anyone who went for non instructional option? I haven't met any NJ certified school nurse who has done it, which is one of the reason I'm hesitant to do it. The main reason I am looking to switch to the public school system...

   Hi Everyone, First of all, I would like to say that I love the school nurse thread and all of you have taught me so much since I've started working as a school nurse (almost 3 years now). I'm looking for some advice on the NJ school nurse certificati...

7. vision resources nj?

   schoolnurse64 replied to schoolnurse64's topic in School

   Thanks for such a quick response! I believe the problem is that the family has insurance but not for eye care, and so they probably won't qualify for some of these programs. Will bring it up with the mother, though.

   I was offered a group interview with PSA Healthcare in NJ. Test was really easy, hired on the spot. Pay was only $21/hr, but I was a new grad. The other people at the interview seemed to have just as little experience; some weren't even certified ...
