Feeling Apreciated

National Nurses Weeks has just passed and within that week was National School Nurses and also National Nurses Day. I really felt appreciated....Flowers and Bundt velvet cake on my desk in my office was just such a cool surprise when I opened my office door that morning. It was not only the day but all week I was receiving gifts from faculty, children and staff. I still have the flowers which are fading now at home but the memories will never, never fade.

However, the greatest appreciation I felt was from students who poured out cards after cards that were designed creatively by them. Example: "Roses are red, violets are blue Ms Eve...we love you. You heal me; you cure me; you give me glasses; you feed me. Now another good one "Blood is red, veins are blue Ms Eve... we love you. You are the best nurse ever; you are a star; You are awsome; You are not mean. I received close to 100 cards. These are memories I will cherish for a long time and will create scrap books from it, and when the going gets rough it will keep me going.
