@RobinCogan Let’s just hope we get the same horrified response from our nation’s leaders when it’s a school rally rather than a campaign rally!

From soothing upset stomachs and scraped knees, to promoting health & wellness in school communities, #SchoolNurses are there to help with students' health. Make sure to thank your school nurse today!

The rankings looked at a number of different factors, including salary, potential for upward mobility, stress level, work-life balance and feelings of appreciation. All problematic for school nurses. https://t.co/43qykABAP3

This. What good is forcing kids back into the grind of how it’s always been if this crisis (which was looming BEFORE the pandemic) trumps academic learning? Kids deserve better.

Smart idea, huh?!
