    What is your Nursing Kryptonite?

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

    I watched my father-in-law get injections into his eyes for macular degeneration - once a month for 6 months. It was tough to watch plus my FIL had mild-to-moderate dementia. I really didn't think...

    What is your Nursing Kryptonite?

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

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

    Please don't mischaracterize our choice in not seeing the film. We know what is in it. You don't have to watch the movie to know what the movie is about. We are not fearful. We are saddened and...

    Something Positive: Your 5-Year Plan

    Spidey's mom replied to Wrench Party's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks Katie (and again Muno) for giving us real-life examples of the risk of not getting immunized. Regarding the film, the negative reviews are everywhere and the turnout for the film is negligible....

    Nosebleed, WWYD?

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

    Some people are really squeamish around blood. When I was teaching students to draw blood, one got so lightheaded she had to lay down on the bench. Giving water (and maybe a high-carb snack) and...

    Entitlement - Are We Making The Problem Worse?

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

    That is what our elementary schools do and the secretaries make up the ziplock bags with ice cubes. We wrap ours in a tissue though. They aren't that cool so kids seem to be more focused on getting...

    Spidey's mom replied to Parakeet's topic in Spirituality, Religion

    I share your thoughts and I'm a Christian. Personally, I don't proselytize anywhere. I try to live my life in an honorable way but think giving gifts with a "Gospel tract" in it isn't something I...
