Who has an assistant?

I work for a 500 student k-2 and have multiple tube feeds, catheters, diabetics, you name it. There was talk of getting me an assistant! :) I know the budget will never allow that but was wondering who all here has an assistant during the week? No one in our district does but I know neighboring districts that have employed CMT/CNAs!

750 kids. No assistant but when we get very high need kids, they often have a private duty nurse with them.

All of our high schools have an assistant. We have a couple of middle schools with an assistant due to the high number of kids enrolled. None for elementary.

I am at a 9th grade campus with 1040 students, and I have a full-time assistant in my clinic. In my district, we generally get a half-time assistant with 750 students, and a full-time assistant when enrollment reaches 1000. In schools that have more procedures, they sometime get assistants with fewer students; I believe it is up to the discretion of the principal.

My campus is PK-5, a little over 700. It's just the 3 of us...me, myself, and I:up:

PreK-12 school with about 650 total students. It's just me. I really don't need an assistant.

No assistant for the bulk of the students (regular ed) but special ed has various aids and assistants that take off some of the work that would normally have fallen on me (and would have in previous schools I was in).

I'm an MA, working with 524 kids. No assistants or nothing.

But the conversation is always good.

2300 kids, one excellent layperson clinic aide who is woefully underpaid.

I have assistants at my schools, but I am part time so it makes sense.

I'm the one and only nurse for our district, which is K-12, with ~1600 students total. No assistants and no hope for an extra set of hands any time soon.

i have an aide that comes in one period per day. She is nice enough to take a working lunch each day to help me out a bit more. We chip away at the paperwork.

I would love to have an assistant! Or at least a clone of myself!
