    Spidey's mom replied to Spidey's mom's topic in Nursing News

    How about those amber necklaces? Someone I know has her infant wearing one even after I sent a link to the choking risk . . . plus there is NO medical evidence they work. Are Amber Teething...

    No Water at Lunch?!

    Spidey's mom replied to shark_nurse14's topic in School

    We have water fountains as well. Kids are just served milk but a lot of kids bring their own lunches and they can bring whatever they want. I didn't realize what this was until I read this thread...

    Medical Quackery: Let's talk.

    Spidey's mom replied to Spidey's mom's topic in Nursing News

    I'm dealing with someone who won't get a flu shot to protect someone else's immune-compromised situation because "they don't work 100%" and "you have to get a new one every year" and "I got sick after...

    Jobs in nursing in social justice

    Spidey's mom replied to michaelaellie's topic in General Nursing

    I agree wholeheartedly. I also think that the "politics" of nurses does depend on where you live. Here on AN I've felt the odd-person out at times because I'm conservative however I love the...

    10 Questions for Nurses

    Spidey's mom replied to Ariana0815's topic in General Nursing

    Only Crusty Old Bats will remember..

    Spidey's mom replied to Pepper The Cat's topic in General Nursing

    Doctors without Borders refusing free Pfizer vaccines

    Spidey's mom replied to StNeotser's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I think they could have found a different way to make their concerns known. In the meantime, "the leading cause of death in children is pneumonia" and they turned down one million vaccines. That's...

    A first grader just brought the following for lunch

    Spidey's mom replied to MHDNURSE's topic in School

    We can't take a student lunch away either. You'd have parents screaming at you if you ever did that. And the school lunches are healthier but most of the food goes in the trash. I sat there in the...

    WILTW 10/15: The Right Hand Burns

    Spidey's mom replied to LadyFree28's topic in General Nursing
