A newfound appreciation

[LonghornChic]

I had my first Peds clinical today at a high school and let me tell you, it was AMAZING. Whatever pre-convinced notions I had about school nursing (if I were being honest) were completely shut down by my preceptor. I never really realized the amount of "hats" a school nurse must wear and also the incredible amount of administrative red tape she has to go through (including sitting through district meetings). It's not band-aids and boo boos. It's so much more than that. My hats off to all you school nurses! I am sooo excited for my return next week!

And that's just coworkers!

"I popped a knee back in and handed out 2 shirts to cover side boob today." And that's just coworkers!

My sister is the only school nurse at a High School with approximately 1600 students, and I don't know how she does what she does. She sees 50-60 kids daily. I'm not sure how she gets everything done.
