Substitute Pay

[KSGMaine]

Hi All,

Having time off during the week has me bored...so I have always been interested in being a school nurse so I decided to look into substitute nursing for my days off - I was shocked to find that the pay rate for my area is $70/day with a 7 hour day! Sub Teachers make $60.....just curious what others have found in their area and why in the world would they pay so little, for such a huge responsibility!

I've only seen one ad locally (Boston) for sub school RN's and it was also for $70 or $80/day. I truly cannot believe they expect people to hold the lives of children in their hands for what you can make working at Target.....I passed on applying, in case that's not clear!
