I just accepted my first school nurse position and I couldn't be more excited. After working bedside in critical care and skilled/LTC, I have a chance to develop and implement health promotion campaigns and classes/training for students and faculty, in addition to the day-to-day of school nursing. I'm so excited!
So I'm asking all the school nurses out there - what are you favorite places to go for up-to-date information, best practices, evidence-based health promotion programs, etc... I even found some podcasts I've been listening to, so I am open to anything you all find helpful!
I have already looked into the NASN, and will probably join, so if there are particular toolkits or info from NASN that you love, please let me know!
NASN and local state chapters. Becoming involved (ie conferences) helps you become aware of new laws and practices. I was more involved with my state chapter. It felt like there was a greater sense of community in person.
