School Year 2015/2016: Who's in?

Published

I know fetch is leaving (Boooo!) and some of us have talked about it.

Who will still be in our ranks next year?

I will!

what made you decide to leave. Im only asking because I sometimes think about going back to the operating room but my hubby thinks I'm crazy to give up the school thing.

Specializes in School Nurse.

I am out this year. I did school nursing for 4 years. It was the hardest job I have ever had. However, I do appreciate the support everyone on this boards has given me. This is a terrific place to seek advice and garner wisdom from experts in the most difficult field of nursing - school nursing. Wow, what a wonderful group in this forum - Experts +++ I really never had the administration's support or appreciation and this did not help me stick with it.

I landed a job in March working with elderly doing clinical eligibility for state home care services. Love it. I miss the summers off though, but I am happier and less stressed. I really want to thank everyone on this board as you all are great nurses - dedicated to a field of nursing that is extremely difficult with an overwhelming responsibility. No one realizes this until they actually do this kind of work.

Thank you over and over - Massmagic

I'll be in! I'm back! Technically a School Nurse again. I got a PHN position in a high school at a school-based health clinic and I got my foot back in the door. Best part of it all is I don't have to do the State mandated screenings or get my Credential in CA.

Yay!!!
