Does your current employer (if you are employed) have access to educational material? I'm an Endocrinology nurse (I only work with adults though) and my employer offered a CE course on diabetes that went into detail on CGMs and insulin pumps. It was extremely useful. If your employer has resources available I recommend searching under "diabetes". You may find the most use in searching "diabetes in children/youth". You will most likely not be touching their insulin pumps but it would be good to at least have base knowledge on the types and what to do if they fail. It may be difficult to find educational material focusing on school nursing but learning more about the basics would be helpful in the long-run. Another option is to look into the manufacturers websites for resources. A few different CGMs: Stelo, Dexcom, Libre. Common pumps: Medtronic, Tandem. Insulin: Novo Nordisk, Eli Lilly, and Sanofi. If you are able to connect with any local reps for the companies they may be able to send you resources and educational material as well.

Hello! I am a BSN, RN and have been seriously contemplating returning to school to obtain my MSN in Informatics. I applied, and have been accepted to, Columbia Southern University. After applying I realized that they aren't officially accredited yet, they are under pre-accreditation status with the NLN CNEA. I'm unsure what this could mean for me in particular as I am already a registered nurse and will not have to take NCLEX again. I'm unsure if it matters but I am also located in KS. Should I back out and instead apply to a fully accredited university or does it really matter since I'm already an RN? I intend to discuss with my employer's educators as well but am too anxious to wait until Monday. Can anyone please provide any insight, recommendations, viewpoints? I would truly appreciate it!
