Hi all ☺️
I hope this post finds you well, and staying safe during this trying time.
I’m posting on here looking for a little insight on school nursing. After working in an inpatient pediatric setting for 5 years, I just accepted a position as an elementary school nurse (grades 1-5). It’s a weird time to be starting a new job but what can you do ?♀️
I’m very excited to start this new chapter, whenever that may be ! A few questions:
What are some of the highlights of your job ?
What are some of the challenges of your job ?
Anything you wish you knew before you began working as a school nurse ?
Any insider tips, good resources to have, mantras, tricks, etc. you’d like to share ?
Additionally, being that I am transitioning from working in a relatively high-stress PICU, I am especially interested in any tips on how to make the mental adjustment from PICU to well children in a school setting.
Thanks guys ?
