    Interesting Article

    SnowyJ replied to SchoolNurseTXstyle's topic in School

    Freaking out about an injury!

    SnowyJ replied to zombieghoast's topic in School

    What Old Dude said... But I do wonder, did you possibly confuse one student for another? I have done that. If the student did come to see you, obviously he wasn't overtly injured. So he has a...

    Vomiting policy

    SnowyJ replied to zombieghoast's topic in School

    Lice, I know, old news. But need opinions!

    SnowyJ replied to Schoolnursesrock1's topic in School
