  13. HS Nurses - How do you know about different drugs?

    nmr79 replied to Avill's topic in School

    nmr79 replied to Persephone Paige's topic in School

    Congrats on your sobriety. As long as there are other nurses who will be able to pass meds/ exchange tasks with you, I don't think it will be a problem. Personally, I wouldn't mind helping pass meds...

  24. School Shootings

    nmr79 replied to Farawyn's topic in School

    Our town has all doors locked all of the time. Visitors have to go in one door, and they have to be buzzed in. It's a nuisance sometimes, but I'm happy for the extra little bit of security. We all...
