  2. I'd like to stop birthday treats at my school

    MHDNURSE replied to MHDNURSE's topic in School

    MHDNURSE posted a topic in School

    Anyone else at a school with a crazy early lunch time? Last year we had two staggered lunches, one at 12 and one at 12:30, but this year they have re-vamped the entire schedule and we now have three...

  15. No Acute Care experience: Will I survive as a school nurse

    MHDNURSE replied to ~Shrek~'s topic in School

    I think you will be fine. The "steep learning curve" will be more about navigating through state regulations, procedures, figuring out how to prioritize screenings, etc. Once you get that all sorted...
