He's a freshman and will likely find a way to roll with it. I have to say, I think his attitude is rather healthy. Two of my own kids had the "nurse's kid" in their classes in middle and high school and it was the complete opposite. The high schoo...

Lack of consulting and communicating has been the major issue throughout this pandemic when it comes to schools. Not understanding just how difficult-to-impossible achieving mitigation standards is in so many schools has also been a problem. We had...

I plan on staying. It's only my second "full" year. We've dealt with covid, snow days becoming "remote" days, staff freaking out, being pulled to the vaccine clinic and contact tracing when kids were all remote....definitely an adventure. But I stil...

I'm in an urban district and most of the families have been pretty good about taking precautions (or just staying virtual) since the community has been hit pretty hard. But lately I've had a few families not exactly be honest about large gatherings ...
After the first dose, I grew a third arm and after the second dose, I became autistic....sorry, I'm just so tired of battling crazy misinformation the school office staff is saturating themselves in.
Anyway...I got the Pfizer just before Christm...

Say what? All of us have dealt with a few nurses who were on extended light duty because they hurt their arm slipping on an icy parking lot surface on a 85 degree Summer day (slight exaggeration, but you get what I mean). I can't imagine how many pe...

Agreed.
In addition, hospitals have stopped a lot of what student nurse can do during clinicals. My guess is liabilty, HIPAA and HCAPs have contributed to lack of student nurse experiences. So a lot students feel more like outsiders duri...

Don't you have to talk with staff then? LOL. I'd say PACU. I'm surprised NICU at night would be quieter. When it comes to babies, I figure that's round the clock drama for the parents.

No one wants to be the bad guy. It took our state sports association weeks to make the call because they were so afraid of people being mad at them that they kept kicking the can down the road and leading on the kids and the (idiot) parents. So eve...
