Pearls of Wisdom

New to the school nurse forum.

I recently signed my contract for elementary school nurse position in Texas. When I was hired I told my supervisor that I would have to give my 2 wks notice to my hospital job. It wasn't my intention to start so late in the year but I had to wait for the position to be approved by the school board yadayadayada. :dead:

So my humble request to this fine group, what are some pearls of wisdom you can share? Tips on having a late start? (My district has a screening team that helps out with the screenings.) TIA!

    Welcome to the school nurse forum! :) I am a new school nurse and I also got a later start (I started on the second day of school). Are there other school nurses in your district?

    Yeah, it's a kind of a big-ish district. Every school has a nurse.

    Welcome!!!! :roflmao:

    First thing I would do is start going through their files (cumulative folders) or look for information about food allergies/health conditions. Immunizations & any medications that need to be given. :specs:

    This should keep you busy for a while :nurse:

    If there is already a database from the last years with heath concerns, LTC, meds at school, great. If not, as you are going through the files, start one!!! Welcome to a great job :)
