I have learned that sometimes it is better to keep my mouth shut and let people do stupid things, even when it damages a 30+ year friendship. You can catch bug bite itches from the kid in class...
I have learned to always keep copies of any paper work that must be sent to the nurse managers office at another site, everything is lost there. I also learned that I do have the will power to stay...

Parents and teachers are in a panic now!! My phone has been ringing off the hook! I just love when this gets posted on places like Facebook, said no school nurse
I have learned that packing the youngest child up for college move in day for the finial year is not as painful as it was the first year. Working for a living really messes up the golf game. Giggling...

Esp those perfect band aids on the knee when wearing skinny jeans that are impossible to pull the leg up to get to the band aid. Usually hand them the band aid and send them to the bathroom to change...
At home the dear hubs gets to listen to every little gripe from my day...for 15 minutes then no more work talk. At school, the secretary and one teacher are all I trust to speak my mind, and even then...

I rarely have contact with my nurse supervisor, phone or email for questions as they arise. I would take the job since like the others have said, school nurse openings are few and far
A tick a tick, someone got a tick off that kid....every adult in the building is in a panic!!! It was on the kid's shirt sleeve, no panic needed. Less than an hour til dismissal and off for a nice...
