Jen, it is awesome! You don't have to hound parents for immunizations or doctors offices, just log into SNAP and sync to the MIIS system. My district doesnt use PS (my kids school does though, but...
LOL, I hope not!
My school is about 50 % compliance, and my district (huge 26k kids) runs flu clinics every Friday and the numbers of people showing are decreasing! I totally hope they...

I don't believe you will get a job in the UMASS system (which includes Clinton, Leominster and several other hospitals) without a BSN at least. Check out Heywood Hospital in Gardner or Emerson in...
Ditto the others, but since you are school, and when you finish will most likely leave anyway to get an NP job, I would just stay where you are and suck it up for now. Why look for a job

I LOVE that you said WICKED!! LOL
I'm in central MA, and we were supposed to open up for the highest need students Nov. 16, that is now pushed back until Jan. 25, mainly due to the fact HVAC is...
So the small town in MA I live in is Hybrid (and it is working out awesome!!). But the large city I work in is fully remote. But they are wanting to bring "complex significant disability" kids back on...

We are remote, BUT I figured out Google classroom and set up a virtual school nursing office!! And because there are usually only 6 of us in the building everyday, my principal usually buys us all...
You will pass, it most likely is a drug test and vital signs, bend and touch your toes type of thing, every time I have had to do it, there was no physical exam, just questions. Answer NO to all of...
I work in a large city district in MA and we were told we are NOT going to be doing it! I am thankful for that, I don't want to add that to my duties, we already have enough to deal with. Plus we are...

I have only ever used SNAP and I love it!
But whatever you get make sure it interacts with whatever system your district uses so that things like absences, parents info...etc.. crosses over and...
Did the school district also provided you with them? and does what they provided you with match the orders? And what grades are you working in?
I am in k-6 and we do not use them, but at the HS...
I would consider the pay, the benefits and the weekends on or off, plus which shift you would be working. Personally, the women's health clinic sounds good to me if it is day shift and no weekends,...
Oh geez, like you need one more thing to do!
anyway, I guess maybe how many new covid cases that were diagnosed in your city/town or district you serve? Maybe in your state? (Though I think you...

First off, that is horrible! I'm sorry!
Is it like that at all schools in your district? Do you have a nurse leader? It sounds like your principal is not approachable, is there someone else yo...
It all depends, are you elementary, MS or HS? was there a nurse there before? Are there protocols already in place? Supplies? Are the only one in the district? Do you only have one school? There are...
My assistant principal is the designated CC for our building. But I know we will work together. School starts for us on Thursday, but kids don't start until September 15, so I have no idea yet about...
