    BrisketRN replied to ruby_jane's topic in School

    5! Out at 4pm on the 20th. My favorite part of the last day of school is the final sweep. We run through the school ensuring every child is gone then we get to

    School Nurse: Managing a scene/coworkers

    BrisketRN replied to guest464345's topic in School

    I agree with all the above. Ignore if possible, tell them to back off, give them a job to do. Maybe a debriefing is necessary. Might want to talk to administration about having a meeting with staff...

    BrisketRN replied to direw0lf's topic in General Nursing
