    Entitlement - Are We Making The Problem Worse?

    Not to mention rebound pain....Especially with over use of NSAIDS for headache. Just had this discussion with a parent. She has been giving her son Ibuprofen daily for headaches! Creating a vicious...

    bathroom accidents

    I have a 2nd grader with encopresis who poops his pants almost every day. It's ridiculous. BUT, he has been cleaning himself up since Kindy, with some supervision. I give him a plastic bag to hang on...

    Not Enough Backup-CPS?

    Ok, I have a WWYD.. Last week, I sent a student home sick. While she was there, the mom of said child took me aside and told me of disturbing conversations her 8 yo son claims he had with a classmate....

    Gave my first epi-pen yesterday...

    Yes, I could expect a reaction even from the smell of nuts or residue, but to be epi worthy when just nearby is severe! This is why I tell parents of allergic kids it can be risky to sit with the nut...

    Let's encourage each other.

    Indeed, one of the hardest parts or leaving the hospital setting was not having the lifeline of other nurses to work with. This forum has been such an amazing help. It's nice to know we can come here...

    Not Enough Backup-CPS?

    I appreciate the support. I am still incredulous that some others in my building considered it "handled" before trying to determine what led the child to act out the way he did. It's nice to have...
