10 On SCHOOL NURSE DAY, bring a goodie bag to local school nurses with business cards, supplies and advice. Better yet, invite them to your office for a one-hour talk on a useful topic like conjunctivitis or vision therapy.
14 What’s the toughest job in the world? The correct answer is being a mom — though many children of all ages would argue it’s selecting a good Mother’s Day gift.
