    MHDNURSE posted a topic in School

  3. I can't take one more day of psych!!!!

    MHDNURSE replied to edisonnurse's topic in Psychiatric

    MHDNURSE replied to MHDNURSE's topic in School

    This is AMAZING!! My husband is an allergist here in MA and totally asked me why we can't just do this instead of making them all bring one in- much easier. I am totally going to look into this! I...

    MHDNURSE replied to momto5RN's topic in School

    MHDNURSE replied to MHDNURSE's topic in School

    It's funny because I am obsessed with ice cream and I went for ice cream with some friends and all their kids and noticed one of them got a cookie and no ice cream. She told me she had worked in a...

  14. Am I being a jerk

    MHDNURSE replied to janetpa's topic in School

    Yeah the students got in trouble big-time for stealing as well, but luckily the local farm decided not to press charges and just asked for them to pay back the money. I think they had to do community...

    MHDNURSE replied to janetpa's topic in School

    I don't think you were being a jerk. They definitely did not look at the big picture when trying to come up with a prank. Reminds me a little of the senior prank our class did way back in the dark...

    MHDNURSE replied to Nerdy Nurse's topic in Nursing Career

    MHDNURSE replied to KKEGS's topic in School

    That's frustrating. My work hours are 9-1:30 this year. I don't answer any calls from school before 9 am or after 1:30 pm unless I specifically tell them they can call me. I was at a training a...
