How many nurses have school or public health nurse experience?


October 11th, 2024

I’m not sure if you’re asking in general as in the percentage of nurses who work in schools? That would maybe be lower than 10% of all nurses. I worked as a school nurse about 15 years ago for about a year. I was in an elementary school, the only nurse for about 700 kids and they had a special education program. Pay and benefits were not good for my situation but some school districts will include the nurse in with the teachers benefits. I was “ancillary staff”.
