School Nurse Interview Questions
"When interviewing applicants for the position of school nurse, employers are looking for registered nurses who have an understanding of the relevant medical practices and work well with children. In an interview, you may be asked how you would provide first aid relief to an injury or treat a student who comes in with flu symptoms. Previous experience working in a school setting or with children is a huge plus."
How my previous work experience would relate to school nursing.

In reply to this review. Yes, they want you to do all the paperwork ASAP and they should not encourage people do that until they are OFFICIALLY hired. At my interview, they walked me to HR to schedule my fingerprints right on the spot. The finger prints are $45. The ESA class is almost $500 but if you are hired for 0.5FTE, youget a $500 hiring bonus. They tell you yes its a bonus but its to pay for a required class. I guess you have to pay out of pocket if you are less than part time! Overall, the mgmt team is pretty cool but this pushy practice of encouraging you to do refundable things really isn't ok if they aren't 100% sure. Less

How would I handle a situation where I knew the child was not properly cared for, and would I think that I should get involved?

When a child is neglected or being harmed it is everyone's responsibility to do what ever they can to resolve the issue. I would alert my supervisor to the situation and my ideas to begin resolution. If this was agreeable to my superiors, I would follow through with contacting proper authorities. Less
