National Certification Exam Candidates

Welcome to Week #1 of our online NCSN Study Group. My name is Sarah Portle, and I am so honored to be able to take over working with our NCSN Candidates!  I have been a School Nurse for 15 years and an NCSN for 5.  I have had the privilege of working as an SN in Illinois, Florida, and Arizona, and most recently, I was the Program Manager of the Arizona School Nurse Access Program (ASAP), which helped increase the certification of NCSNs in Arizona by 300%! I am so excited to work with you all on your NCSN journey!

Remember to enjoy the process. In the end, you might find that you learned a lot through this refresher course in school nursing practice!

Good morning!

I have been wanting to take the NCSN exam since 2020 and have been putting it off. I recently became the district lead nurse for our corporation after being a high school nurse since 2016 and I've found that I have a lot to learn as far as care of the younger student and the legal side of school nursing. I am officially signed up to take the exam on 11/19 and I'm excited and nervous. I'm thankful to have this group and I hope we can all benefit from one another. I haven't studied anything since 1999 when I graduated nursing school, so I feel a little rusty in that area! Hopefully my brain can absorb all that it needs to be successful!

This week's assignment: share a reflection on why you decided to pursue national certification with our group.  

Additionally, if have any questions about the material, please post them to this dicussion board. The more responses, the richer the discussion! I am here to support the group in any way I can, and I encourage you to reach out to each other as well for support, ideas, and suggestions to create the kind of virtual study group that you need. ** Remember when discussing questions refer to the questions and answers by chapter, number, and letters, eg., Chapter 2 Question 3 Answer B. The information in the review book is copyrighted so you cannot copy the questions and answers to the discussion list. **

Congratulations on taking this important step.  Once you dig into the content, I promise it will be fun and you will feel empowered by taking ownership of the process.  Take the word study out of the equation and substitute it with being curious, we are lifelong learners, it's the nature of a nurse! Keep in touch, and happy learning!

Welcome to Week #1 of our online NCSN Study Group. My name is Sarah Portle, and I am so honored to be able to take over working with our NCSN Candidates!  I have been a School Nurse for 15 years and an NCSN for 5.  I have had the privilege of working as an SN in Illinois, Florida, and Arizona, and most recently, I was the Program Manager of the Arizona School Nurse Access Program (ASAP), which helped increase the certification of NCSNs in Arizona by 300%! I am so excited to work with you all on your NCSN journey!

Remember to enjoy the process. In the end, you might find that you learned a lot through this refresher course in school nursing practice!  

There are two main books that I suggest you have on hand to review during the preparation process:

1. Selekman/Cogan School Nursing Certification Review book 3^rd Edition Digital (There is a hard copy version available as well).

2. Selekman, Shannon, and Yonkaitis School Nursing: A Comprehensive Text

Let's start our study group by reviewing the content of Chapters 1 & 2 of the School Nursing Certification Review book and the associated information in Selekman, et al. School Nursing: A Comprehensive Text (Chapters 1-4 and 11-13).

Hello! I am Lauren. I work at a small, rural elementary school in NE Arkansas. This is my second year as a school nurse. I decided to take the exam to push myself to be the best I can be for my school. I hope to refresh my knowledge on school nursing while studying for this exam as well as learning how school nursing differs for those in larger school districts/cities.
