2. What do I do now?!!

   RNPediatric18 posted a topic in Online Learning

   I am SO frustrated and need to vent! Last year from February to October I was a student at Averett University in their RN-BSN program. I completed 6 classes, 5 with a grade of "B" or higher. I took a leave of absence in October due to the impending b...

4. I may hate my School Nursing job...ADVICE, PLEASE?

   RNPediatric18 replied to RNPediatric18's topic in School

   Wasnt complaining at all and I'm sorry you took anything that I have said that way. As well, I'm sorry you had zero training. I wasn't aware that in schip nursing it's not uncommon to just be thrown in. Also, I never said I was comfortable with every...

   RNPediatric18 replied to RNPediatric18's topic in School

   I had no idea there was even a 60 day deadline. They did all the screenings before I started...although there was a stack of ones that needed re-screened left here. So I am assuming the coordinator will get with me at some point to get that taken c...

   They completed the vision and hearing screenings before I came here, although I attended a re-screening at one of the middle schools two weeks ago. I honestly had no idea there was a certain time frame these needed to be complete in and I believe th...

   RNPediatric18 replied to RNPediatric18's topic in School

   Yes, this is exactly what the coordinator did with me too. I got the 3 hours training and then was told to call her or any of the other high school nurses in the county with questions. Which was fine and I did! I can be pretty self sufficient...as...

   RNPediatric18 replied to RNPediatric18's topic in School

   Yes, we do have a head nurse for the county who is over top all of us. That is who trained me for the 3 hours. I reached out to her for further guidance yesterday and didn't receive much feedback other than adding in a weekly visit with the element...

   Thank you for this feedback! I actually have been on that website looking around and used the interactive office. I'll take another look! My position before this was outpatient, Monday through Friday 8-5. I worked closely with the case managers and ...

    RNPediatric18 replied to RNPediatric18's topic in School

    So you're saying that most school nurses get zero training? I haven't seen one policy or procedure on how I'm even supposed to be doing anything. I understand they may not exist. But Lord only knows if I'm doing anything correctly. I dont want to re...

11. Experienced RN afraid to be a solo school nurse

    RNPediatric18 replied to loreali12's topic in School

    YES! Thank you for not making me feel so crazy for feeling this way. School nursing is a highly coveted position in my area and it's exactly what I thought would make me happier...being able to spend more time with my daughter at home. Now I'm not...

12. I may hate my School Nursing job...ADVICE, PLEASE?

    RNPediatric18 replied to RNPediatric18's topic in School

    Thank you for all of the advice. I just don't know where to even begin with half of it. I might add that I was pretty much thrown into the job...I had 3 hours of training from my nursing manager and that's it. The nurse that was here before me had...

13. Experienced RN afraid to be a solo school nurse

    RNPediatric18 replied to loreali12's topic in School

    I have the opposite feeling regarding school nursing, than most of the other school nurses here. I just started my position on October 1st but am already feeling bored, not challenged, and isolated. I came from a local community services board wher...

    RNPediatric18 posted a topic in School

    I started a job as a School Nurse on October 1 in a local high school, 30 minute commute each way. The kids are sweet, the teachers (that I've met) are nice, and the job isn't bad at all. I knew I would enjoy the busy parts. However, when I took th...
