School Bus Tragedy

Published

Fellow school nurses and Allnurses friends, yesterday a tragic school bus crash in my district claimed the lives of six elementary school students. Please join me in praying for, or simply thinking about, these little children and their families. I have not figured out how to share a link, but the accident, in southeast Tennessee, received major media coverage. Our city is broken. Please remember us today.

This is just....unthinkable. We do well remember that stories of tragedies we hear about on the news are PEOPLE. With families, friends, and nurses who love them. I am so sorry!

I heard it on the news last night and was horrified. I then wondered if anyone in our allnurse family would be affected by this directly. Prayers to all of you. Such a horrific tragedy.

I am so sorry for the loss of these children. The nurses in Louisiana will be praying for all of them and the community impacted by their loss.

Thank you all so much for your kind words. I keep looking at the children here in my school today and feeling thankful that they are all right. The school bus involved was carrying children from a school in a neighborhood just a few blocks away. It's a notoriously hilly neighborhood with extremely curvy roads, that make me nervous when I am driving my small car! Some of the children walked away with minor injuries, but six little friends are gone...and our city is aching.
