    Nicole shares why she decided to become a school nurse, what she loves most
    about working with the Cross Country Education team, and what she would tell
    school nurses just embarking on their careers.

  <h2>Why did you become a school nurse?&nbsp;</h2>

  <div>
    I became a school nurse after working in the ER for several years. I was
    searching for a different way to serve others with a less intense schedule
    and a little less stress.&nbsp;
  </div>

  <h2>
    What do you like about working as a school nurse with Cross Country
    Education?&nbsp;
  </h2>

  <div>
    I love feeling like I am part of a team. Cross Country has evolved so much
    since I began working with them in 2018. Not only am I part of an amazing
    nursing team, I also feel like we get to work closely with the office staff
    to improve our product and deliver new and improved services every year. It
    feels like we are moving a mountain some days, but it&#39;s really wonderful
    to know that the mountain is moving because everyone is pulling their own
    weight.&nbsp;<br />
    [h2]What have you liked about your experience working as a nurse at CCE
    schools?<br />
    I have recently teamed up with Texans Can Academies, and it has been
    awesome! We have built many relationships with their staff, and it has made
    for a smooth back-to-school program. Because we have built such a great
    relationship, we have been able to be open and honest regarding what works
    and what doesn&#39;t work for them to create a program that makes everyone
    feel confident and safe returning to school. It has been fun to be part of
    the process.

  <h2>
    What kind of advice would you give to someone starting out as a school
    nurse?
  </h2>

  <div>
    I would encourage new school nurses to use a daily planner, write down their
    to-do list each day, and incorporate habits that sharpen organizational
    skills. I would also encourage them to remember their work and effort is so
    important for each student. Everything we do counts and can make a
    difference in the growth and development of our students. We may not
    remember all the people we inspire, but they will remember us. Be
    someone&#39;s light every day.&nbsp;
