There isn't a special symbol for a ferrite bead, it's just an inductor. The PCB footprint will depend on what type of bead you choose to use. There is a footprint library for "Chip Inductors" that contains various size surface mount footprints. A thru-hole inductor would use the same footprint as a thru-hole resistor or capacitor, you simply have to choose the size that matches your component.
If you want to use a special symbol in the schematic for a ferrite bead, draw it yourself - that's what the library editor is for.
Generally, what people call a ferrite bead in a surface mount environment is really a surface mount inductor. True ferrite beads are just that, a ferrite ring that is slipped over a wire. You seldom see those on a PCB.
You can use an inductor symbol, and use the comment field to describe it according to your specific needs.
