Last year was my first yeAr as an elementary school nurse and I absolutely loved it! I loved the kids, I am loving being home all summer, downside was needy teachers [emoji12], overall it's been best nursing job so far!

Thank you for the input!

This is my first year as elementary school nurse and I am trying to figure out how to organize my clinic.. For example, meds-do you use weekly pill boxes for each child? Or do you just pull pill bottle out each day as they come in? Do do you have first aide kits in each classroom? Any ideas/advice for organizing and running a clinic smoothly would be appreciated 😊

This will be my first year as a school nurse! I will be in elementary school. I am also on maternity leave and trying to prepare myself to start working and start new job! We start this Thursday the 6th.

I am facing the same fear as you are. I am a new Grad in May and graduated with my BSN. In my area there are few jobs and you are lucky to get into a hospital as a new grad. I took a position in a LTC facility about 2 months ago hoping that it would give me some experience to one day get into the acute hospital setting where I always thought I would go straight out of college. Now it scares me that I made the wrong decision and it could effect me negatively. I had to make the decision of driving an hour to work in as a nurse tech in a hospital that did not have a position for me, or take a nursing position, but in a facility I never thought I would work? Also, I have another question.. Is hospice care experience that will be looked at by acute hospital employers as good experience? or is it in the same level as LTC?
