I think you want:
shell -/bin/bash
>From man screen(1):
shell command
Set the command to be used to create a new shell. This overrides
the value of the environ-ment variable $SHELL. This is useful
if you'd like to run a tty-enhancer which is expecting to execute
the program specified in $SHELL. If the command begins with a '-'
character, the shell will be started as a login-shell.
I'm think that starting bash as a login shell will source /etc/profile.
Good luck,
