It comes in cycles

[BettyGirard, BSN]

Another new year started. Ever notice how certain things come in cycles.

For example, I can go several years without a new kid with a bee sting allergy

or diabetes and then suddenly I'll get several the same year.

This year it's incontinent students. Three this year including a pop-up.

Oh, that's a term I use for a student with a condition that I first hear about on the first day of school. No heads up earlier from a parent or the nurse from the school they were at last year.

Yeah, just when you're waving goodbye to the seniors with issues, here come the freshman with even greater issues! And people wonder what we do all day. I've been working all summer (of and on) on problems and school hasn't even started!

I think most of the conditions I become aware of are pop ups. Love that term! With mine even the everyday things come in cycles. I will not see an earache for a month then get 6 in one day. Very strange how it happens.
