Westtexas, I am a nurse also but a school nurse. Out of team spirit and good will I signed up to work the school carnival. Signed up for 4 to 5:30--got done at 7:00 pm.

Though I miss the hospital (really) I love my kids, my families and the people I work with. First graders and kindergarteners are huggy. Kids can be spontaneous and very truthful. I've also learned that the frequent flyers I used to see in my ED days start "that" in elementary school.

'Course the KS legislature is working the budget over with a machete, chainsaw, flame thrower so we'll see if we're still in the budget next year.
