  • I've resigned

    I've officially stepped out of my school nursing gig. I'm sad because I'm emotionally invested in the kids, families and community. I'm relieved because it's been so hard working full time with four kids and I couldn't imagine putting Jude into daycare for 9 hours/day next year (Nanny had a baby will not be working with us anymore). Fortunately I have a choice regarding these issues and I've decided to stay home get myself healthy again (stress has caused some depression issues). I'm looking forward to spending the next year or two with my last baby. I'm scared about paying for 3 full tuitions and what's going to happen to us. They were very receptive and supportive of my decision and told me to call them when I'm feeling better. They would love for me to teach health part time. I'm a little (a lot) sad over losing my identity has "Nurse Beyer" and all the kids that still come up to me at birthday parties if they hurt themselves. I love our school community and worried about how we will continue to afford private tuition. I'm just nervous about the change in general. We will be getting a puppy to celebrate me being at home and available to train. I'm looking forward to that!

    The school nursing job has fundamentally changed my parenting style. I can't possibly understate the postiive impact that it's had on me as a parent. I'll be *forever grateful* for that even if full time if never the right fit for me.

    Leaving work is an adjustment. Soon you will get to know the new you. Be patient with yourself and have fun learning your new job.

              That's wonderful that you had such a great experience as a school nurse. I hope this next chapter for you is just as rewarding as the last!

                I am hoping your next transition will be a much need relief from the pressure to perform well. I would think it would be exciting to stay home with the kid(s) so you're living my dream!

                    Enjoy! I'm sure the transition will be bittersweet, but I'm glad you'll have a chance to heal emotionally, and I hope it's a fun period in your life.

                      I know that must be hard...I hope you really get to enjoy your time at home, though. I know I'll be there someday myself.

                          I cannot imagine how hard this was for you. Very best wishes as you spend the next few years re-focusing.
