Hopeful School Nurse!

I will be interviewing for a school nurse position soon. I'm curious what a school nurse would do if and when the district goes virtual or distance-learning.  Any guidance would be great!  Also, hi!

I was doing immunization audits, checking over the condition lists, emergency care plans, and trying to get new orders for the school year when our school went remote.

Did you WFH or go to the school to work?

That had us work from home first then work from the school.

Lots of policy/protocol updating. Realistically the department can handle 1-2 projects/updates a year because we're so limited on times we can collaborate as a group during contracted hours. Really went through with a fine tooth comb everything that fell under the nursing umbrella.

Did anything stick out that needed major fixing/tinkering?
