I got the job!

Published

I found out yesterday that I was given the middle school school nurse position that I had applied for! :x3: I am so excited, and I know the nurse who is retiring from that position is really excited for me, too, and has been getting things ready and wants to give me a tour of the office when we can arrange it this summer. There were four positions available, and while my kids were bummed that I didn't get the high school position (the school where they would be in a few years), they know how happy I am about this!

I used to teach middle school and took a course on middle school development, so I am sure that the people who interviewed me liked that a LOT.

Yay! I can finally say that I'm a full time school nurse as of August!!! :yes::)

Congrats! So exciting! That is great that the retiring nurse can give you a tour--I started months after the previous nurse at my school moved away so there was a lot of putting pieces together! Keep us posted on how your first year goes!! :up:

We were worried that the district wouldn't even interview for new nurses before halfway through the summer, which made being able to get together with the nurse we were replacing a little more difficult. Thankfully, the district got in gear and I was able to make contact quickly, and we can plan for some training before I step in this fall. I hear she has been creating a binder with information for me all year, so I am sure that will be helpful! I am replacing a nurse who has been at this school for 25 years. Those are some big shoes to fill! But I am happy for the challenge! And thank you!!!
