Question

Do school nurses get any supervision?

Do school nurses have supervisors?

As a school nurse in a private school, I'm sort of neither fish-nor-fowl. I have a nominal supervisor, but have not had formal supervision yet this school year. My development as an employee seems like it's all up to me. (Not necessarily a bad thing...)

How 'bout other folks?

    What Members Are Saying
    Members are discussing the varied supervisory structures in school nursing, contrasting the benefits of professional autonomy against the frustrations of micromanagement. While some value reporting to non-clinical administrators like principals for the independence it affords, others argue that non-nurse supervisors lack the necessary regulatory knowledge to evaluate clinical performance effectively. The debate highlights a tension between desiring supportive teamwork and avoiding oversight from those without medical expertise. What remains unresolved is how to standardize competency evaluations when supervisors admit to not understanding the nurse’s specific clinical responsibilities.

    Were they a non-nurse as well?

    Yes. It was the superintendent.

    I work exclusively in our PreK program and have a supervisor (our Early Childhood Coordinator) and another boss above that one (our Director of Community Education) but really I have an incredible amount of autonomy which I love. I hate being micro managed. It's one of the reasons I left my hospital job. I am on our district teacher's contract so I have to be formally observed doing my job 3-5 times a year. Usually they will come watch me provide diabetes care and I also teach health lessons in the classroom (Germs & Handwashing; Taking Care of Our Teeth; Sun Safety) so they'll come watch me do a lesson. Day to day though I am very much left alone. Which again I love. ?
