    The Bad Day Thread

    mc3 replied to Farawyn's topic in School

    (((hugs))) Far, it sounds like this kid was lucky to have you! As an aside, I like the idea of a Bad Day thread. Nobody else understands a school nurse like another school nurse!

    Am I getting too old for the job or is it just harder to be a School Nurse?

    mc3 replied to LMTCBnurse's topic in School
