relentlessschoolnurse.com/2026/05/13/t... Something extraordinary happened this past week. My granddaughter Nora and I sat down with NBC News' Valerie Castro to talk about something deeply personal, and something urgently important: the power of vaccination.

In nursing, we live by a simple truth: if it isn’t documented, it didn’t happen. The official public comment period for US DOE proposed rule to reclassify nursing & other grad education programs is due by March 2, 2026. relentlessschoolnurse.com/2026/01/31/t...

For years, MLK Day and Juneteenth were fee-free days in National Parks. Now? They are no longer free. What was added instead? Flag Day -June 14-Trump’s birthday. You don’t have to erase a holiday to undermine its meaning You just make it harder to participate www.newsweek.com/trump-admini...
