School Nurse's Day

Published

Confused ....... I have seen that tomorrow is School Nurse's Day and I have also seen that it is May 11 ???

Wanted to see what you know ??

Either way, I will be overlooked just like in years past. I'm okay with it though because the hurt from this is long gone !

I am thankful for this awesome group of supporters. Without you, my day would suck a lot more.

HAPPY SCHOOL NURSE'S DAY EVERYONE !!

:nurse:

I have to admit, I'm a little butt-hurt this year. At my last job, I was spoiled with stuff for nurse's week. Now I'm at a school and completely ignored. The secretary got flowers recently for administrative professional's day and they did a whole week of stuff for the teachers which happens to be the same time as nurse's week. And I'm sitting in my "cave.":notworthy: Also, they have birthday parties for the office staff and decided to hold mine while I was gone for a meeting! I miss my old coworkers!!!! At least it's almost summer break.:yes:

I'm a little butthurt, too. For the same reasons.

Here is a lovely article from our own SnowyJ. Beautiful job.

We can take care of each other here.

So sorry, the only reason I was remembered was the PTO President is a nurse, and she spoiled my wife and I rotten. The administrators and teachers didn't know it was Nurse's Week.

Happy School Nurse Day to all of you!!! I've said it before, and I'll say it again- you all are my virtual nurse's station. :D AND I don't have to worry about you "writing me up" for eating at my desk- so you all may even be BETTER than a real life nurse's station.

My co-worker and I got sneaky this year. I sent an email to her staff and she sent an email to my staff letting everyone know that today is School Nurse Day. It'll be interesting to see what happens.

As always.......Nothing...Nada..... No one even knows it's our day. I'm accustomed to it. I'm here for the kids. It's all about education, not health care. I'm the minority.....whatever ! :no:

Chilling with one of my FFs (Let's call him Puppy Love Kid) listening to Metallica. It's a good day. I don't need cake.

I dropped off a little treat for a nurse in the other building and the secretary was there. Today, her girls brought me in a coffee.

From school? NADA

Happy School Nurses Day! You all are awesome!

I actually got a few very nice cards and some little trinkets!

It is nice to be remembered :)

I was beyond shocked!! The faculty & staff dressed in scrubs for our special day. The lounge had breakfast, funny quotes about nursing, flowers, candy jar, a card with a 30 minute massage voucher, & a WONDERFUL quilted hat with Nurse ***** embroidered on it. 2nd grade team gave me a card & Starbucks gift card. The Superintendent stopped by & brought a mason jar with sweets on the inside & a special saying on top. One of the PTO mom's hand painted me a sign to hang on my door that says Nurse ******. WOW!!! I feel really special today! :yes: :woot: ;)

So here's an update. A group of special ed teachers/ed techs from my school got me a nice card. I got a couple of emails from teachers at the junior high (I sent them an email letting them know it was School Nurse Day so they could wish THEIR nurse a happy day).

But not one teacher or admin at my school said anything to me. A few secretaries did wish me Happy School Nurse Day when I stood next to them during the fire drill yesterday.

It's about what I expected, although I do appreciate the card. At least I have you guys!! :cool:
