Some Cute Rhyming Poems:
We saw this coming,
but were in denial.
Your absence is a blow,
to our survival.
You might think we’re
pushing it a bit too far.
But you were truly
the school’s shining star.
You made dull classes come alive.
Without you… how will we thrive?
- As we celebrate your retirement, there is one thing we won’t be able to do today… despite the fanfare, we won’t be able to wipe the tears away.
Happy Retirement Messages for Nurses
No career group values the prospect of retirement more than Nurses do! While others might fear the idea of having no responsibilities (or fewer), Nurses fully embrace the lifestyle of leisure after years of tolerating harassment, overwork, and ungrateful people. Granted, there are many, many moments in a day’s work to love and cherish, but for many nurses, retirement can’t come quickly enough.
I’ve seen it, smelled it, touched it, heard it, stepped in it.
retired nurse
- Congrats on your retirement! Although a retired Nurse never stops nurturing and caring, now’s the time to direct those caring actions toward yourself. Bask in the self-love glow!
- We are so fortunate to have had you here for all these years. You don’t even know how deeply you will be missed. The difference you make just by being you, we cannot overstate. Thank you for your service and your dedication, in all ways.
