School Nurse Hours?

[KKEGS]

I am curious what everyone's working hours are at their schools. Are you only expected to be in the health office when students are in school? If you are a full time school nurse are you expected to put in a full 40 hours? Or is it more like 30 hours? TIA!

High School

I work 7 - 3, and until 4:30 one day for meetings. Kids are there 7:15 - 2:30.

I'm at a PK-4 school here in Texas. Our new hours this school year are 7:20-3:50. (students here 7:30-3:00)

Texas passed a law where they are more concerned about how many minutes kids are in school vs. how many days of school the kids put in.

Elementary k-5 - 7:20-3:20 - kids are in school from 7:45-2:55. I am usually at work by 7 and stay till 3:30. Rarely do I need to stay later unless there is a staff meeting, 504 etc. Our admin is great - Fridays we can leave as soon as all kids are gone - usually by 3:10ish.

Our 5th graders attend a Science camp for 2 nights/3 days - I am required to attend. Sounds awful, but it is really not that bad. Amazing how these kids don't need bandaids, ice etc when they are having fun

High school nurse here, hours are from 7:00 am to 2:15 pm (school day starts at 7:20 am and ends at 1:45 pm). We stay later for meetings sometimes, like staff meetings 1 x per month until 3:15 and then 504/IEP meetings after/before school. I am on a teachers contract so I am required to be here when they are, which includes workshop days, open houses and parent/teacher conference days.

I work 3rd-12th (3 buildings) from 7:45-3:00, M-F. I work the same days/hours that the teachers do.

Our doors open at 7:30 but school hours are 7:55-2:55. I am on the same pay scale as teachers & I work the same contract hours as teachers which is 7:45-3:45. There are times though that I may stay late or arrive early for meetings or PTA events.

High School 710-240 or whenever kids are done finding me....

Pk-8th. Supposed to work 7:15-2:45 everyday (students arrive at 7:30, and leave at 2:30), so a scheduled 7.5 hours/day, but I'm always here by 6:50a to get ready for the day and field parent calls/emails before students arrive. I usually end up putting in around 38-39 hours a week.

My school is 5th-6th, and I am supposed to work 8:10-4:10. I do have to stay for open house and faculty meetings. The kids are in class from 8:55-4:05, but can come in the building at 8:10. I never get off at 4:10, because I am in charge of scanning the barcodes on the IDs of all of the car riders, and we never finish that early.
