Friends and colleagues: an important announcement! I have found one small ray of hope in my 2020 school nursing practice.
COVID is still a disaster, the number of orders/meds/care plans that I have received from parents or physicians is zero, our nurse:student ratio is 1:bazillion, and I'm working in a poorly ventilated space with a questionable PPE scenario and no clear plan for contact tracing BUT...
I GOT RID OF THE DONATION/CLOTHING CLOSET! It's gone. It's not in my office anymore - someone else is in charge of it, and it's physically located in another building. Things that are now not my problem: dress code violators who need a t-shirt ("ew, not THAT one"), deodorant emergencies, tactful diversion of especially hideous donations (how many 15 year olds want a 1990's blazer?), nighttime dropoffs of expired canned goods, and the endless sorting/washing/folding of random pants. I'm free!
What's your 2020 small achievement? Nothing is too small or too ridiculous!
