    Blood pressure cuffs

    SnowyJ replied to Eleven011's topic in School

    YES! And on the topic of band aids, so you all have issues with kids getting hurt at home and not having a band aid? WTH? Go to the dollar store and get a box of strips, people! You have kids, you...

    Oh no!.....

    SnowyJ replied to scrubsrn24's topic in School

    I do the band aid thing too. But I am running low, so I am trying to be choosy about it. I'm glad it's not just my teachers. Seriously, a mosquito bite is hardly a nurse worthy problem! But I see them...

    Out of pocket expenses?

    SnowyJ replied to Eleven011's topic in School

    Truthfully, I do spend money on a few "extras." Most needs are met by my budget. I buy Hall's Breezers throat drops, Club crackers and at times Gatorade or Ginger Ale. I also buy seasonal decorations...

    Average "Wait Time" For A Parent?

    SnowyJ replied to jodys-girl's topic in School

    The longest wait I've had was over 3 hours. It's ridiculous. I've even had parents tell me they have "no way to get there" even when their child has a high fever, is vomiting, etc. I tell them it's...
