New School Nurse

Published

I recently accepted a position as a fill in school nurse with the potential to go full-time at the beginning of next school year. I come from a surgical telemetry unit and obviously these two specialties are quite different. Could anyone out there give me some advice on which material to brush up on to better prepare myself for this specialty?

Specializes in Med-surg, school nursing..

I've seen the "pink on Wednesday", what exactly is that?

From the movie Mean Girls, which we kinda like. On Wednesday's we wear pink. There's a thread about it as well, check it out. You forget your pink and you can't sit with us.

This is arguably the most important aspect of school nursing.

Wear pink and you can sit with the cool kids at lunch. Don't wear pink and you are banished to the uncool table and will be publicly shamed.

Gloating is expected and encouraged for those who wore pink. Non-pink wearers should hang their heads in shame and accept their fate.

Godspeed and welcome. Don't embarrass us.
