Read Nurse Duncan's story...
This has been my first year as a school nurse. The joy I get from the students I attend to is the reason I do what I do. Sometimes there is extra icing on the cake. For instance:
We do hearing and vision screenings, and if a student fails, we refer them to an audiologist for hearing or an ophthalmologist for vision.
One of my little 4th grade girls that I referred for an eye exam came beaming in one morning and said, “Nurse Ginger look at my new glasses!” I said, “oh my goodness, they are so cute on you!” I told her how much I liked them and she said she did too because she can see everything a lot better now!
Such a reward for me to know that this little girl will be able to see everything in a different view now and do so much better in her schoolwork.
That’s my “Henry Street” Story!
