Who is a School Nurse?
Every publicly funded elementary, middle and high school is required to appoint a school nurse whose primary function it is to provide healthcare at the initial stage if a student experiences symptoms of illness, an injury, or a simple headache. Every school is equipped with a Nurse Room where you will be able to provide initial care or first aid. Protocols related to transferring the student to a hospital is usually the school nurse's call. You will not be obligated to share your space unless you ask for an assistant if the high school is very large with thousands of students.
Master's degree in Nursing

Benefits of working in the United States as a School Nurse

Same salary as a registered nurse at a U.S. hospital

Earn the same salaries that are paid to RN hospital nurses. School nurses are mostly at par with salaries paid to registered nurses at hospitals and medical centers across the United States. You will also receive cover-to-cover health insurance, vacations, and pension benefits as a hospital registered nurse.

Work only during School Hours

Serve the student community only during school hours. Unlike a hospital nurse, who literally works 24X7, including several night shifts a week, you will work normally between 8:00 AM and 3:30 PM Monday-Friday. Weekends will remain off for you! You will be granted holidays like your students.

Low Stress Nursing

Live a literally stress-free life! The number of occasions during which you will need to take care of trauma patients will remain extremely low since school nurses provide primary care.
