As you know, I've been trying to keep track of my hours, but I kind of failed in November and December. I FINALLY (today) went back and looked through my lesson plan book to compile and add up the hours I had recorded and to add in a minimum 8 hour day to the days whose hours I did not record. If you've looked at ANY other posts on here you'll see that I VERY RARELY work less than an 8 hour day. That's why I've chosen to insert 8 hours on days that I neglected to write down this school year.
The total for October 31 through December 22 was 305 hours. Really, that's way less than I typically would work in a two month period for a few reasons.
1. There are lots of holidays in there and even though I generally work on at least one day of a holiday break, I do work less.
2. My grandfather got sick on November 2 and passed away on the 11th. I, therefore, tried to spend a lot of time at home and talking with my family. I was a bit distracted from school.
3. I took three days off to attend the funeral 400 miles away. From November 16-18 I was not in my classroom.
4. I took a sick day on December 16.
Now, the absences almost make up for themselves in planning time for a sub. Truly, I probably spend at MINIMUM two hours prepping for an absence.
Alright, so how does all of this affect the hours?
I'm going to add the hours to the last total I did...at the end of February. Yikes.
END OF FEBRUARY (minus November/December)...
Total hours worked this year: 953.5 hours
Salary for the year: $44,784
I'm making: $46.97 per hour
END OF FEBRUARY (including November and December)
Total hours worked this year: 1258.5 hours
Salary for the year: $44,784
I'm making: $35.58 per hour
Pretty sure that the average nurse makes this PER HOUR that she works in a year...
sigh.
