Congratulations on your new job! Since I have been out of

school nursing for a while, I'll defer to those nurses with current

experience...

You might want to look at the National Association of School nurses,

lots of good info there that may help to get started...

My best advice is get to know the other nurses in your district, they will be an invaluable resource to you. www.schoolhealthservicesny.com is an excellent website, I use it regularly.

School nursing as a first job out of school may be difficult as your assesment skilles may not be developed yet. You will learn as you go and utilizing allnurses.com will help also. If I can be of any assistance, PM me....Good luck :)
