Changing careers in nursing from the ER to School Nursing. So thrilled to do this! I have been a nurse for 2 years and wondering where the best place to start as a new school nurse? Which grade levels for a school nurse are least stressful?

Elementary, Middle school or High school?

Thanks!

Go with the age group you like best. Believe me, you will have a LOT to learn about them regardless. As far as fakers, the little ones can be very manipulative, in some ways more than high schoolers. High schoolers have a lot of complex social problems and the middle school kids are just mouthy and obnoxious. I float between all 3 and must say I love them all. If I had to choose, though I would pick high school
