So I recently started a position as a middle school nurse and it is just not for me. A little background . . . I am a recent ADN grad, had been an LPN for 15 years, worked in an ER and as a substitute school nurse while in my RN bridge program. After I graduated I faced the choice of signing a contract with the hospital or trying out school nursing full-time. My kids are in the same district and I was excited for the schedule, so I chose to try school nursing.
Well I am bored out of my mind. When I subbed in another district I had kids with catheters and peg tubes and diabetics. At this new school I treat the same 20 kids with headaches and stomach aches every single day. I am so unhappy with my choice.
My former employer has offered to let me come back and work on a tele unit and I really want to do it. My concern is how to best cut ties with the school. It hasn't been 90 days yet and I don't want leaving to have any effect on my kids. It's a small town I want to leave this position in good graces. Does anyone have any advice?
