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.
