2020 is starting out in a most unexpected, but an exciting way for The Relentless School Nurse. American Nurse, the official journal of the ANA has a special feature called “My Nurse Influencers,” and I have been chosen as one of the monthly contributors. To say I am honored, thrilled, humbled, and a bit stunned is a huge understatement. The fact that school nurses are being recognized as the specialty practice we all know that we have been for more than 110 years, fills me with a sense of pride and added responsibility.
For the next twelve months, I will have a feature in American Nurse that will include highlighting the work of school nursing. As always, I would love feedback from the readers of this blog. If you have a specific topic you would love to see addressed, please reach out to me at relentlessschoolnurse@gmail.com.
A special thank you and great appreciation to Donna Cardillo for sharing my work with American Nurse.
