Beleaguered school nurse retiring early

As the current President of the New Hampshire School Nurses' Association, I am very saddened to read this story, and shocked to see that people called for her resignation. This is just one example of the harassment school nurses across the state are experiencing. While Helen used the words "we should not engage with any of the crazy", I would have said "we should not entertain engaging with, and bending to, the misinformed and self-serving individuals who disrupt school board meetings and do not want to subscribe to the principals of public health. Definition: Public health promotes and protects the health of people and the communities where they live, learn, work and play. These protesters do not want to sacrifice a little for the betterment of their community.

The rest of the School Nurses across the state stand behind the public health initiatives that are our only hope of ending this pandemic. We stand behind Helen and admire her for all she has done for her community.

This is a big story, that should not be missed in the community. Here's an ordinary person on the frontline who had the courage to stand up for the science to protect her students. From my distance, it looks like she was simply exhausted.

Were there threats were made to or about her by anti-vax parents or board members? Were these direct or simply implied? What did she have to put up with to do her job?

It's a damn shame.

Crowell is a life long health professional. As such It is irresponsible of the school board n0t to seriously consider her information/warnings re covid.
