Launching a little later than planned—but better late than never! 💙
People think school nurses get the whole summer off… but we know the truth. From camp nursing and PRN shifts to tutoring, teaching, travel gigs, and even mission trips, school nurses stay busy beyond the bell.
Joining me are two inspiring guests and dear friends:
🌟 Araceli Orozco – 2025 NBCSN President’s Award honoree for her work in equity and diversity in school nursing.
🌟 Maricela Lares – 2025 Emerging Nurse Leader: 40 Under 40 with the Illinois Nurses Foundation.
Together, we bust the “summer off” myth, share creative hustles, and talk about why summer gigs matter—for our growth, our students, and our communities.
🌍 Special shoutout to our listeners in 11 countries—thank you for making this Huddle global!
