Published

In honor of School Nurse's Day I did a quick google search into the history of school nursing. I found a free ebook "The School Nurse" by Lina Rogers Struthers, RN written in 1917. Lina Rogers was the first school nurse in the U.S.

Specializes in ICU/community health/school nursing.

My nursing director started at our busiest campus 19 years ago 2.5 days a week. Now every campus but one has a full-time nurse.

I married into a Greek family. When my husband and I moved into our house a few years ago, his family came over to help clean before moving in. OMG... They are serious about Windex! ??

I'm a little jealous of the molluscum standing orders. I have a kid with that and as far as I know, I'm not allowed to express the contents. (I didn't even think it had contents that could be expressed) I love popping stuff!
