I had the same misconception that school nursing was easy, until I did it.
:yeahthat:I have to admit for myself, the stress is not as great as the hospital setting, but it is definitely a different kind of stress. Peruse the School Nurse area and you will see what I mean! I really think the only thing that keeps me from leaving nursing altogether is that as a school nurse we have a nice schedule and lots of breaks to recharge our batteries (6 days, 1 hour and 16 minutes until Spring Break )
