School nurses day is the 12? right?

I'm not a school nurse-sometimes I think I want to be(I work in radiology)

But my school nurse. I mean my dd's school nurse is leaving us very very soon. I will miss her. she's been my fav.

Since my dd has type 1-we really get to know our nurses.

But I'd like to know what your fav presents are.

I'm thinking some flowers/gift card somewhere

thanks guys

and know that you'll do make a difference:redpinkhe

Just someone remembering the day is great for me! Honestly, it usually coincides with teacher's appreciation week, and in 3 years I have never had any mention of it other than on this board and amongst the other school nurses!

I think a card, especially handmade by the kiddos and/or with a heartfelt written thanks from the parents would be awesome. It would definitely be kept forever, as opposed to flowers which although beautiful are short-lived. Maybe if you feel like doing more than just a card, a small potted plant for the office?

Thank you for appreciating your school nurse, I know you will make her day!

i got a really cute crystal heart key chain from hallmark store that you could put little charms in and she put nurse's charms--that was probably my favorite sentimental gift--i also call my self a "soap snob" so I just loooove to get antibacterial soaps from bath and body for my office--lotions and pens are nice as well but really and truly as stated above anything that says thank you is sooo apreciated--we don't hear it near enough!! i have saved all my cards given to me--i had a parent of a type 1 diabetic write some really nice things to me!!
