And here is today’s update from Liz:

Since I shared my original story so much has happened both good and bad as does with any nurse. Toward the end of March, I inadvertently acquired another building of almost 500 students bringing the caseload to around 2100. Honestly, I was having difficulty keeping up with the three buildings originally assigned. The struggle is real and there have been some near misses the last couple of months. However, I have a new outlook after joining a state staffing committee as a WEA (Washington Education Association) representative for school nurses. The shift since my original story has been to be a voice in a sea of educators. My voice will represent approximately 1000 school nurses across our state. I will be the voice that educates and makes a change along with all my other school nurse partners. Together our voice can make a change.
