Thank you for the information and encouragement! I'm looking forward to gaining more insight into the responsibilities of the position. It is a float position, so I won't have a home base, so to speak. I would be covering other nurses when they're out or lending a helping hand to the ones with the highest need. I have a ton of questions for the interviewers. I will definitely report back. Thank you again for your response!

Hello! I've been a nurse for more than 6 years; mainly in GI and outpatient surgery. I currently work in a GI clinic. I'm interviewing for a school nurse position this week, which I'm simultaneously excited about and fearing. I've never worked in peds. I love kids and have always wanted to work in peds, but life (and pay) took me in a different direction. I'm now at a place where I can explore what I really want to do. Throughout my years in GI, I've worked with countless teens, but that's it. No little ones. My questions: Has anyone gone from working mostly with adults to school nursing? May I have you share your experience? What are the pros and cons? What would you have done differently? How steep is the learning curve? Thank you all!
