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 does.
- School nurses in the U.S. are trained, through either degree or certification, to attend to the
primary healthcare needs of school students. They help with the diagnosis of illnesses, conduct
health checks and participate in public health missions such as vaccination drives, and other
preventive measures. While the level of care differs to a certain extent from the care delivered
to hospital patients, the quality remains the same. This is precisely why school nurses receive
the same salaries and benefits as other registered nurses working in a clinical setting. Health
insurance coverage is typically provided by the school.
