    How has your role as a school nurse changed with COVID?

    Easily 70% of the job is COVID related at this point. Also, the emphasis used to be on trying to keep the kids with somatic complaints in class and not send them home. Now I can't get rid of them...

    New ADON Job Concerns

    Even if you had been forewarned, it sounds like the volume of work expected for the role would not be doable. (Not unless you wanted to move in there and give up your life.) It gets me riled that...
