I was a contract nurse for a special ed school but did not have any students requiring invasive procedures. Recently, administration insisted that I write planning notes prior to IEP meetings, documenting the need to see certain students on a daily or weekly basis so they would qualify for more funding (ex. having a student who had been seizure-free w/medication for 6 months begin to "check-in" at the clinic daily, even thought the parent objected and there was no Rx). I refused, documenting my observations with supporting data. This happened on several occasions, and I eventually resigned because I felt it was fraud. The principal told people I was a disgruntled employee, even though my evaluations for 4 years had been excellent. I have been reluctant to use him for a reference, but I do not wish to go into details and appear to be bashing. Did I overreact? I have not been able to get another school nurse job.

Hi, I'm also new to GA, was a school nurse in another state for 4 years; have not been able to find a position in my county but would like more info on that CHOA conference. Still feel like there is lots to learn, especially in a new state. Thanks.
