    mag426 posted a topic in School

    I just started as a school nurse at the beginning of this month and I'm already bored of my position. The days feel so long even though I only work 7-345 because there isn't much for me to do but see...

    mag426 replied to mag426's topic in School

    @Rubor, BSN, RN Thanks! The school I work at is a charter middle school. Small population. Grades 5th-8th. The nurse's don't participate in 504 plans nor would I volunteer. Those and IEP planning and...

    mag426 replied to mag426's topic in School

    @100kids, BSN, RN Awww, you're job sounds awesome coming from your perspective. I will give this place a try and create a better connection with the teachers. I think it's because I'm new so I feel a...

    mag426 replied to mag426's topic in School

    @MHDNURSE, BSN, MSN, RN, NP That is probably what happened. I was speaking to my DOO today, we had a mini meeting. So I set up all my trainings for the week of October 23rd so that I can get the...

    mag426 replied to mag426's topic in School

    @ MHDNURSE, BSN, MSN, RN, NP Idk, the school is new but has been here since 2012. I'm not the first school nurse to work here but apparently the first full time one to just work solely out of this...

    mag426 replied to mag426's topic in School

    @SullyRN Thank you! I will try to tough it out until the little nugget gets here so I can weigh out the pros and cons. Seems very family friendly as far as nursing gigs

    mag426 replied to mag426's topic in School

    @Jen-Elizabeth, BSN, RN Thanks for pointing out @MHDNURSE's comment about immunizations. I've heard briefly about this but when I brought this up to my boss the DOO he said that they straightened out...

    mag426 replied to mag426's topic in School

    @Farawyn, RN Sure if I can do all those tasks remotely from my office not a problem. I need something to kill the time between now and 345 lol I will continue reading this thread though its very...

    mag426 replied to mag426's topic in School

    @OldDude, RN Thanks! I know that in less than 9 months it will no longer be only about me and the baby comes first. Maybe this is the first test in that journey. Keeping a new job that I'm not exactly...

  15. Anyone ever quit school nursing?

    mag426 replied to mag426's topic in School

    @BeckyESRN Thanks for the advice! Never thought of pregnancy clouding my judgement but this is my first time so who knows maybe it is. The benefits of course outweigh the benefits at my old job,...

  16. Anyone ever quit school nursing?

    mag426 replied to mag426's topic in School

    @OldDude, RN Yes it is. So there is a lot I don't know yet and still learning about working while pregnant. I'm excited but also wish I found out before accepting a new job, I found out a week before...

  17. Anyone ever quit school nursing?

    mag426 replied to mag426's topic in School

    @Farawyn, RN What I like about this job is the autonomy where I can do my own thing without judgement but also miss having other nurse people around me. I thought I would like the schedule but I'm now...

  19. Don't jump on me! But i'm bored already

    mag426 replied to mag426's topic in School

    Yeah, it was busy when I first started like the first two days. But that was probably because I didn't have access to all the online stuff and I didn't know the students well. Fast forward 3 weeks...

    mag426 replied to mag426's topic in School

    I just want to be challenged just a little bit and I guess that's where my disappointment is coming from. But again, i appreciate the advice from all of you guys. Really I do. I will stick it out and...

    mag426 replied to mag426's topic in School

    Okay, I will start another spreadsheet just for immunizations. I'm currently working on a spreadsheet now where I entered whether the child can have OTC meds and which one plus if they have allergies....

  23. Don't jump on me! But i'm bored already

    mag426 replied to mag426's topic in School

    Well I'm the opposite of you. I wish I was slammed honestly. But I do not teach health class, haven't started screenings yet (next month), and for the most part see students daily and organize my...

  24. Don't jump on me! But i'm bored already

    mag426 replied to mag426's topic in School

    No, there isn't one. I've asked about immunization compliance and how do I keep up with it and organize it and my boss says it's all set. He says my biggest focus will be screenings that need to be...

  25. Don't jump on me! But i'm bored already

    mag426 replied to mag426's topic in School

    Yeah thanks I will start a binder for that since there doesn't seem to be one. That will give me something else to work on. The immunizations aren't entered in the computer they're just in each...
