How much does a school nurse make? I was thinking about it and after a few years of working in the hospital, I want to relax. I heard that it's rather laid back and you get a lot of time off.

I just checked salary.com and here in Texas, they make 45K. You may want to go with a hospital for nursing, huge sign on bonuses right now and 4-12's a week, which isn't bad. Good Luck!

Thank you so much:). Yeah, I was going to work in the hospital while still living with my parents and save up some money and then go to the school nursing.

Thats not to bad. Now my question is though is there extra schooling involved to go from hospital nurse to school nurse?

I believe you are right. Good Luck in your future. Trust me medical fields have there days when you regret even going to work however in the end the smiles and comfort is worth the headaches. ANd the first few months of being sick.

Not here! It is all the same. They prefer it but you don't HAVE to have it

I heard that it's rather laid back and you get a lot of time off. Sounds like my job! Working 12 hours shifts is great, you get so much more time off to enjoy.
