   cjl_RN replied to jnemartin's topic in School

5. Bed Bugs- parents don't think it's a big deal

   cjl_RN replied to MHDNURSE's topic in School

    Old Dude- If Diastat is smooth muscle relaxer to stop convulsions why would it need to be given for a student who has a seizure that is not convulsing? But a head drop, or starring. I thought the reason it was given is to relax the body to stop the c...
