Re: Interview today for school nurse position that deals with Life Skills students..
I just started in the same type of position about a month ago. I work with similar students at the high school level. My main focus is one student who requires the most care (tube feedings, changing, meds, monitoring seizures) but I am also the nurse for the rest of the classroom. I wasn't sure how I was going to feel about it, coming from a more traditional acute care setting, but I really like it. As for paperwork, most of our charting is done in the computer. I do daily notes if there is an issue, and document the meds that are given. All communication to the parents goes through the teacher unless it is something specifically medical. It is a very physical job, always on the move, but so rewarding and the hours are great!
