    EnoughWithTheIce replied to OyWithThePoodles's topic in School

  11. Coverage for the daycare?

    EnoughWithTheIce replied to RNTadaaaa's topic in School

    EnoughWithTheIce replied to OyWithThePoodles's topic in School

  17. hot glue guns

    EnoughWithTheIce replied to jess11RN's topic in School

    And what can you do for a hot glue burn anyway? Run it under cool water, band-aid it. Really, the teacher that allows them to use those things should be taught to provide the first aid. It is usually...

    EnoughWithTheIce replied to RNTadaaaa's topic in School
