School Nurse Hours?

Specialties School

Published

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!

I work 7:30-4:30, which my fellow charter school nurses will understand. I don't really get time for lunch, but my pledge to myself this year is to close my office for at least 20 minutes a day and leave the building to walk around the block (I let the admins know and take my cell). I have held myself to it every day thus far and it has helped me immensely already!

I am here when kids are, 8-3:45, that includes the 50 minutes for drop off, pick up. Teachers are 7:45 to 3:45.
