I'm back for my third year in my current district, seventh year a s a school nurse. Just wanted to see who all is back here this year for another round of crazy town ? I spent most of my Summer entertaining the idea of leaving my job after a very difficult several months doing everything BUT what I was hired to do, and in the end I decided to come back for year three in my current role/school. I am still a daily visitor to Schoolspring and Indeed ? and it is unbelievable (but understandable) how many school nurse jobs there are even just within a 25 mile radius of my own district. The schools are hemorrhaging not only nurses, but teachers, student services staff, etc.
Who is back?
What year is this for you?
Anyone here new?
So glad to have all you knowledgable ladies and gents to collaborate with and totally wish we had a real-life chance to meet ?
I’m brand new, just starting this month as a sub/float school nurse in a nearby school system. My background is NICU and Peds home health. I’m very excited but a little nervous.
Specializes in Telemetry, Gastroenterology, School Nrs.
I'm here, just limited on being able to check in!
I'm back for my 13th year as a school nurse, 21st year as a nurse. I must say this has been the most overwhelming year, to date, and I'm exhausted. I'm not planning on leaving any time soon, but the thought of retirement sure sounds nice right about now ?
Back for year three. Telling that it's taken me nearly six weeks to have the time to check in to this website. The first month was crazy but, like many September issues, the last two weeks were better as the many new requirements become more routine.
COVID is horrible but I am proud to be able to provide so much to help keep the kids safe and in school. I've never felt so vital ?
And I love having all the kids back... that's who I'm here for and I missed them so much last year (we had 1/3-2/3 of them in the building last year).
