So long, and thanks for all the fish!

Well today went out with a BANG -- a kindergartener stuck scissors in an electrical socket! Thankfully he's okay - it looks like a bunch of dried glue on the ends of the blade insulated him from everything but a spark (and mom already has him at the MD of course).

I got so many construction paper cards from so many classes, and one from a PreK class that is just beyond precious. They all wrote what being a nurse means to them -- my personal favorite is "It checks your back. The nurse checks your heart. A nurse is a veterinarian." A close second is "They help people never ever get sick" (from a student who has never ever come to my clinic, but knows me from helping with dismissal).

Of course I'll still be around, though not as much to contribute until I start sub nursing. Good luck to everyone in finishing out the school year! And thank you all for your invaluable advice, sounding boards, safe space to vent, cheers . . . the list goes on and on.

Ditto like others have said.

I've enjoyed following you school nurses - I've learned from all your wisdom.
