New Direction - Shawn Spruce's ear is examined by nurse Sue Leong at the Packard Community Clinic. Leong is on leave from her post as nurse at Clague Intermediate School and five elementary schools.

This, she admits, is a new direction in her field and one that possibly could engage the image of the traditional school nurse.
