I'm now officially retired!! And yes, that is the smoke from my bonfire--good bye scrubs! I keep thinking I should feel sad but I don't LOL. I'm almost giddy. It was so busy--the flu has hit our area with a vengeance. Out of 32 patients, 14 had flu-like symptoms. I'm going to take a shower in hand sanitizer--I was coughed, sneezed, wheezed, etc., on all day. I washed my hands so many times they're raw. But it was a nice day. My boss & his wife sent me a huge Christmas flower arrangement to the office, nice to smell roses instead of patients. The girls gave me Joanne's gift cards and of course there were lots of cookies to munch on. Got lots of hugs from long-time patients; made me feel good. I always thought patients thought nurses are invisible, never notice us unless there's a problem but they all said they'll miss me. How nice everyone was. I'm glad it's done. Maybe I should change my screen name to JanNOT rn LOL.
