I have held a US license for 30 years. But, when I moved from Florida to Delaware a few years ago I had to go back to CGFNS for them to send my transcript. I even had a compact license and Delaware is also a compact state. It is a really quick proc...

I don't take anything. During our active shooter training we are told not to take anything and have nothing in our hands - told to drop our walkies and only take phone if it is in a pocket.
In an actual emergency evacuation - fire/gas leak sce...

Can anyone recommend a counter top ice maker? I have fought the one I inherited for two years and today it gave up. It has been making noise since I got here this morning, but not a cube in sight. Time for a new one...
My district seems to have been great with vaccinations. All the nurses were offered it through the Health Dept and had at least one shot before we returned to hybrid in January. The district teamed up with the Health Dept and local hospital and off...

I have a standard lecture that doesn't go over well. It ends with "If your doctor wants you to ice that 3 week old injury every 10 minutes, I need that in writing from said doctor as that is a treatment plan". I explain that I offer First Aid and a...
I thought this only happened to me. I have used my stock Epi a lot - all first time allergies in High School students. Every time the paramedics try to tell the parents that I "cured" the allergy and they should just follow up with an allergist some...
Thank you. That is what I thought. But, I haven't moved for a long, long time and Florida has only just becomes a Compact State. Also, no state's board of nursing website is exactly user friendly for this kind of information. I have just finished...
