1. switching from district to contract?

   jesserpie replied to jesserpie's topic in School

   I believe it would be through an agency. The nurse at the high school was a contract nurse and said she got paid a lot more-that she would never be a district employee. The school is desperate for nurses now, and there won't be any in the small town...

   I heard "contract nurses" make way more money. Does anyone know about this? I wonder if I could re-apply as a contract nurse.

3. School Nurse is a Lonely job

   jesserpie replied to TaylsRN's topic in School

   This is what I thought! I wasted my whole summer cooking, cleaning, etc. Make sure you make time to enjoy it! Plus, I was too broke by the end of the summer to DO anything fun.

6. What do you wear to work as a school nurse?

   jesserpie replied to verdeacres's topic in School

   I was asked when I started to wear scrubs at least half the first year so that the staff and students would know I was the nurse. I wear pretty much whatever I want, dressing up when I have time and wearing scrubs and a messy bun the other four days...

   Sooo...I've had the same student come to me twice this week because his nose hurt. He has a small pimple. Yes, he is special Ed. Boy tells me "it looks like I've been looking at the sun, but I haven't"- figured out he was having a migraine. A girl...

   jesserpie posted a topic in School

   Just exhausted....No nurse at the high school next door and No other nurse in our small town. So I take care of my school(the middle school), the high school, and supervise a preschool, and two elementary schools. The closest other nurse is miles a...

    jesserpie posted a topic in School

    This is my first summer off as a school nurse. Any tips on budgeting for the summer? Think I'll have to hide most of that money from my husband because he will think he needs to spend it! If there is x amount in the bank, he thinks that is x amount...

14. Mr. Harry the Excessive Hair Patient

    jesserpie replied to Barbie8808's topic in General Nursing

    If that were me, I would feel utterly violated. I would raise heck. AMEN Think about this, what if it were someone underage? What if it was your teenage daughter? Would that change your opinion of the matter??

15. super annoyed

    jesserpie replied to vikivail26's topic in School

    I have one severely autistic kiddo that is brought to me all the time. The staff do not want to be blamed if he has a bruise or scratch, I understand that. BUT- they send him down for temperature checks constantly because he "feels hot" and are con...
