Specializes in School nursing.

It depends. It is a public school, charter, or private school? I'm with a charter school and my interview was with our director of operations, who is not medical personal. However, when I was was hired as a sub for a public school district previously, I interviewed with the city's public health nurse, who hires and oversees all the school nurses in that district.

I interviewed with the building principal and the health services coordinator, for my first school nurse job. The second interview for another school was with the principal, the school nurse, (whose position I was replacing) and the health services coordinator.

I walked into a team interview. The school nurse supervisor, a public health nurse and the director of nursing. This was at the health department, and the health department delegates what schools you have and what district you will be working in. So, I guess it all depends on if your school contracts out or not for nurses.

Wow, the majority of you walked into team interviews so I will have to really prepare myself. I hope I get this position I currently work in group homes & feel as though I am going no where. The only great thing about the job is the flexibility.

Monkeysmami/RN, how are you planning to prepare for your interview? Or does anyone have any suggestions on preparing or what helped them during their interview? I also have an interview next Friday and any suggestions would be appreciated.

Xanax ? hahaha, just kidding!!! No, I'm pretty much doing the same thing as you. Researching allnurses.com and the Internet hoping to find a few valuable nuggets. Brushing up on first aid and school nurse responsibilities. And prayer ?...if it is Gods will then doors will open and things will fall into place. If its not then there is probably something better waiting for me ;). I am a firm believer in that! I wish you the best!
