   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...

   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...

   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...

    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...

    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...
