The Relentless School Nurse: Do You Feel Like You are Swimming Against The Tide?

Relentless School Nurse

. The first few months of school have been a whirlwind of confusion, missteps, and a complete lack of clarity. All of this adds up to often making me feel like a salmon, swimming fiercely upstream, against the tide. The tide, in this case, is the complacency in protection that has grown out of the misunderstanding that COVID is behind us.
