I am an RN with 3 years of experience in psych, case management, and in a community clinic.
I was offered a job as a school nurse.
I really want this job, and am super excited. But I am also scared I spoke to 3 school nurses so far, and have an idea of what the job is like, and I know it is a lot of work and can get intense, with a lot of autonomy. The nurses I talked to told me it would be a steep learning curve, but believe I can handle it/
I am afraid that I will flounder without hospital experience. I have to re-learn a number of skills I have not used since school.
Will I be able to handle working as a school nurse without hospital experience?
