I have been a school nurse for 3 years with roughly 25 years into the profession in various areas. School nursing is truly a specialty. However, what are some things perhaps you have done to get past being burnout. The workload is neverending, overwhelming and it is impossible to meet the needs of the students adequately. In fact sometimes I feel my license could be in jeopardy. I do enjoy the students and would love to do so much more but there is not enough time. I realize my ratio is better than some but being split between schools is challenging especially with diabetic students on each campus. I could give numerous examples but do not want to be specific. I read so many LOVE school nursing. Perhaps I need to change my mindset. I realize I document far to much yet I want to be thorough. Where do you draw the line and let go? Make sense. Lately, I have a sense of drowning without completing a single thought or sentence before another need is present or maybe more than one. Thanks for any input.
