I shadowed a nurse and they had an old laptop they used that the kids would put in their information and why they were visiting the nurse. They had the IT department create an account on the system they used that was generic and the kids could just log in that way. The nurse still had a notepad by her to keep her notes. That way the nurse would just have to go back into the program and update what they did and their assessment and what time the child left. I plan on using that system if I can this year.

Hello everyone, so I just got the high school school nurse job here at a local school in New Jersey. I have been an ED nurse for 7 years and am fully confident in my clinical skills, but I am super nervous that I will miss something that is mandatory or required. I will be the only nurse in the building and yes I have some great resources among the other nurses in the district but sometimes high school can be a little different. If anyone could tell me what to expect in the first year and "the must not forget" list that they have encountered it would be greatly appreciated. Thank you. Leslie
