Good morning from the East Coast @AmidonChris 😎 I have some follow up questions for you/a little mini interview🙃 do you want me to that via email or Twitter? If text if you'd prefer! #SchoolNurseChat
@RobinCogan A:6 Covid has changed my nursing practice to be completely virtual! Never did I think I'd be Zooming with people as a nurse! @AmidonChris#SchoolNurseChat
@SchoolRNLauren @CkyBecky @NurseHolly89@RobinCogan End the mental health stigma! Our jobs are based around trauma. Our patients, students, communities all need mental health support! And so do we
@lyssdelaPena @RobinCogan And we had a Starbucks right across the street 🤣we were always running over on our breaks and getting like 10 coffees at a time to bring back!!
@RobinCogan A:4 This has been a way for me to have access to updated information about re-openings and pandemic response in the school setting. One of my favorite things from the organizations is the NASN Discussions. I've even seen @lyssdelaPena on there! @AmidonChris#SchoolNurseChat
@jennymgormley@AmidonChris I feel prepared for the same reason! I guess a better way to phrase is would be not having my other nurses there to respond to the emergencies with and the supplies being very different/unavailable
A:3 (2 of 2) My concerns about transitioning to a more independent practice are the lack of immediate support in emergency situations and not having funds to have supplies you really need #SchoolNurseChat@AmidonChris
@lyssdelaPena @RobinCogan I miss our lunch break chats and little parties and stuff. I've been missing my hospital terribly lately so I feel you on this one!
@RobinCogan#SchoolNurseChat I now see how important connecting with other school nurses is and I appreciate all of you! @azrn96 and my awesome Rutgers cohort ❤️
A:3 I reached out to the other school nurses in my district for some help and they actually recommended doing virtual meets a few times a week to help me out and also make sure we're all on the same page with the changes that we'll be facing!(1 of 2) @AmidonChris#SchoolNurseChat
#SchoolNurseChat A:2 Part 2 Another concern I have is with the huge disconnect between education/teaching staff and school nurses. I don't see any mention of the word nurse in any of my school's/district's documents @AmidonChris#SchoolNurseChat
