Today marks the end of an era in my life and the beginning of another. I left my job after 12 years of being a school nurse. Dolores (my friend and a BMOS specialist at Provida) says it is simple. You lose weight, you become a blonde and you quit your long term job at school....she did the same thing...
Perhaps it is that simple or perhaps the journey of the past year and a half has given me the strength to follow my heart and my dreams. I was very restless at my old job and decided to leave and start my own business.. I know not if it will work, but nothing ventured nothing gained. My new business is called School Nurse Connection, PLLC and its purpose is to provide nursing service to schools.... it can range from substituting in the health office of a school to taking care of a medically fragile child in the school system. This summer will be a busy one getting everything in motion before the fall... I will keep you updated....
So today I will share with you a piece I came across one day... I do not know the author...
