I Got the Job Offer Today!

Published

I'm so excited that I got the job offer for the school nurse position that I interviewed for last week. There are so many wonderful opportunities that go along with the position like helping with Girls on the Run, Ending Hunger in our community and Santa's Helpers (providing gifts to children who wouldn't otherwise have gifts), etc. I'm just so excited to start this job!

Specializes in public health.

Congrats! Just make sure you stay within your scope of practice. I know some principles would ask the school nurse to do other clerical or janitorial tasks when they are short staffed.

Congratulations! It's a great job. The first year it's good to let yourself get acclimated to how things work, etc. You will find that a lot of what you are asked to do is non nursing and you have to decide how much of that is ok with you, how much is just part of what they expect of you and what you may like to change. I personally love wearing lots of different hats in my building. Good luck!

What advice could you give me for getting organized the week before school starts?

Start earlier if at all possible.

I was told that I can come in 2 weeks before school starts to get myself organized. That made me feel a little better. :)
