School nurses....do you work through the summer? Is it mandatory? If so how many hours per week? I am writing an article including the results of this poll in the next issue of allnurses magazine.
We get summers off, but if one of our diabetics or other child attends summer classes or energy express, we are able to bid on the job...The one for this summer is for 10 hours per week, from 8 am to 1 pm....Not sure how the math works there! LOL.....Or else it's for breakfast and lunch, and drive back and forth home between meals.....
We have the option to work summer school for additional pay, but I choose not to. My summers are devoted to driving my children around, getting my house in order, reading as much as possible, and this summer, trying to get my home business off the ground. I do usually return to school a week or so before I have to, to have uninterrupted time to verify vaccines on students who enroll over the summer, and contact parents of students with serious health conditions to try to obtain their care plan. This year, my clinic is being used all summer long for different programs at my school, so I am not sure I'll be able to go back early.
