- This is the power school nurses bring to their school communities. Sharing an important message from a high school nurse in NJ who posted this over her scale.
- “They were careless people…they smashed up things and creatures and then retreated back into their money or their vast carelessness or whatever it was that kept them together, and let other people clean up the mess they had made.” - F. Scott Fitzgerald, “The Great Gatsby”
- Have you seen these stamps? What a phenomenal design!
- When @CDCDirector says anyone can wear a mask at any time, this does not take into account tremendous peer pressure in schools where masking, unmasking is now being left up to individual districts or parental choice.
- An Iowa school district is now leaving it up to parents to decide if they will quarantine their child who was exposed to COVID. They can choose to send their exposed child to school to potentially expose other people's children unless they have symptoms. cr.k12.ia.us/important-back…
- Update, I got the green light from the parents to share pics of my new heart:
The Relentless School Nurse: Personal news - My new heart came in the form of my first grandchild, a beautiful baby girl named Nora. She arrived at 3:00 am Saturday, November 18th.

Why aren't we studying root cause of violence & working on prevention strategies? Why isn't #GunViolence research funded in this country? #StandAFFIRM @ResearchAFFIRM
- Replying to @JuddLegumSilencing our scientists is dangerous. We need to be marching in the streets. This country is exhausted from the chaos that has reigned for 3 years. It feels like we are milk-fed veal, or sheep led to slaughter as if we have no other choice but to wait in silence & watch. #Enough
- 1/4 @Morning_Joe Your disrespect to school staff this morning is beyond disappointing. I am a school nurse, come visit what is happening in school buildings before you make sweeping accusations about "teachers walking out on kids." The @CDCgov updates are as clear as mud.
- Replying to @politicsusa46@AdamSchiff You represent the best of American politicians. I am thankful you can deliver this speech with your head held high, & a clear conscience that you & your colleagues have done everything possible to save our democracy. This petulant retaliation is your badge of honor.
- Replying to @bone00afide and @bschapiroMDMy niece is a Parkland student, my Father's family was murdered along with 10 others in one of the first mass murders in the country in 1949. I am a school nurse & know gun violence is a public health emergency. I know the generational trauma that changes your DNA. #ThisisMyLane
