My little desk calendar says Friday for National School Nurse's Day. If i had planned out better I would have ordered one of our great t-shirts for dress down day / SN day.

It is Friday - that is a dress down day for us. I'm whipping out the T-shirt I have that matches my profile picture. We all know who the true heros are .

The Wednesday between May 6 and May 12 of each year is National School Nurse Day, a day to celebrate and thank all school nurses that take care of children when they are at school.
The unofficial holiday was created in 1972 by the National Association of School Nurses, based in the United States. The day aims to recognize school nurses and acknowledge their role in the educational setting.
School nurses are nursing practitioners usually affiliated with a school or an educational institution. School nurses are one of the first line of medical professionals to ensure the health and mental well-being of school going children and young adults. They are also responsible for monitoring that children in schools are achieving their developmental milestones as well as ensuring that their lives outside the school are safe and healthy.
National School Nurse Day, also known as School Nurse Day, is celebrated during National Nurse Week, which runs annually from May 6 to May 12. May 6 is celebrated as National Nurses Day, while May 12, the birthday of Florence Nightingale is celebrated worldwide as International Nurses Day.

This is what google told me, which makes it next Wednesday, the 11th. I hope it's not Friday... I took off to be at an even at my kids' school! If they do something special for us, I'd hate to miss it!

Usually Teacher Appreciation and Nurses Week are the same week but not this year, I guess. Our school doesn't seem to be doing much for the teachers though ... usually I can get some crumbs from the master's table.

I won't know until it's over and Far's mom asks, "So what did they do for you for Nurse's Day?" and I'll say "Ummmm..."

When I googled (because Google don't lie) it said May 11th, so who knows.

One of the teachers made my wife and I cookies. I'll be thankful for that.

my bet is firmly placed on the fact that i'll get what i got last year - nothing.

On the plus side - i don't feel any guilt if i forget about boss's day or admin professional's day or anything like that anymore. I used to give little gifts - but after getting forgotten about (i don't care about getting anything, lord knows i don't need any more tchotchkes - it would just be nice to have someone acknowledge hard work with a little hi or hey or even, jeeze, looks like you're busy as hell today)
