Mom comes in at the beginning of school year and fills out the paperwork for her kids to have MOTRIN liquid for headaches and leaves me a full bottle. Great! Last week i give a kid the last dose....
Long ago when I was in nursing school clinicals, I was assigned a patient with shingles. I informed my instructor that I have never had chickenpox, but she told me just to take the regular...

We are not only celebrating Friday, but also the 100th day of school! The first grade class nextdoor to me counted (very slowlyyy) to 100 this morning. At least this means we are on the downhill...
