Specializes in School Nursing, Ambulatory Care, etc..

Hi hi!  I'm Bunny Bunny! 

I've been a school nurse off and on since 2008.  I'm back this year after taking some time off for about 2 years.  I'm at a charter school this year.  So, I'm an old school nurse at a new (to me) school.

First day with kids was yesterday.  

When's everyone back?

Specializes in pediatrics, School LVN.

Hi, today was the first day with students. I am an LVN and have been in the health office for 8 years. It's a crazy life, my School Nurse and I have 6 elementary schools and a preschool. Last year was tough and I ended the year 2 weeks early to have a knee replacement. I'm hopeful for a better year.

I started back 8/1 and the kids started 8/12.  I am an LPN and this is my 10th year in School Health.  This is my first full year at my current school (I left a charter school in March and came to my current school in March).

We get out at the end of May - our last day is May 30.  I worked in a school that didn't start until after Labour Day when I was in Maryland.  We didn't get out until mid-June.

Specializes in LPN School Nurse.

I started on Monday, kids started yesterday.   I used to not have any contract days when the kids were not in the building, but we fought to get a couple of days of prep so I don't get slammed so bad the first day.

Hello!

Technically my 4th year in the school setting and back after taking a pause to work on a psych unit for several years. Started August 1st with students starting on the 15th and still trying to get caught up on things. I've got three schools and hoping things will slow down a bit in the upcoming weeks but happy to be back in the school setting!
