Gave my notice yesterday.

Specializes in School Nursing.

Went down to HR and did the paperwork for my resignation as of the last day of school. Very bittersweet...I will miss the kids and many of my co-workers, but sadly my school has become somewhat of a toxic environment lately. I am also looking forward to being able be a stay at home foster mom, and hopefully soon to be adoptive mom if things work out.

I am hoping y'all won't mind me hanging around on the board still, I love this place!

ETA: My director of Health Services was sad to see me go, but she did understand. I hope to return in a few years once we've been able to adopt the kids we want, and they get a little older. They pretty much told me I'm welcome back as soon as I'm ready!

I hope you do stick around. You have helped me a lot.

Enjoy the next chapter in your life and maybe you'll be back amongst us in a few years in a better situation.
