If I want to be a school nurse, what are the requirements to be a school nurse? How is covid-19 impacting school nurses & regular nurses?

I'm in high school at the edge of graduation & many of my science teachers recommend me to join in some sort of career with science. I'm not sure what I still want to be, and honestly a school nurse sounds kind of easy. The thing is at first I wanted to be a social worker but for me it seemed challenging, by the way I do like to be near children and after watching role-plays of school nurses, I liked the vibe. I am very creative and I would really like to show my creativeness during work. Volunteering is my favorite hobby and I feel that with a career with these three things would make me love my job. But my question is what are the requirements for a school nurse, for example do we do training, is there some fun activities to do? Thank you!! :) I would also like to ask questions in the response of COVID-19, how are school nurses helping in this situation? Would a school nurse be doing the same job as a hospital nurse if he or she would like to volunteer? What do hospital nurses respond to the pandemic, with taking care of patients & their family. Thank you for your time!! :) #nurse #medicine #medical #healthcare #school job #help #nursing #nurse-training #medical
