    Thanks! No, it is not an ADHD med, and she's a well-behaved student from my understanding. I don't really mind calling for her, that's part of my job, just thought I'd ask in case I was missing...

    momnurse23 replied to BunnyBunnyBSNRN's topic in School

  15. thermometer feedback

    momnurse23 replied to Needsmorechocolate's topic in School

    I bought it for the exact same reason, but found it was not very accurate and ended up buying more probe covers for the other anyway. Maybe others have had better luck with it. I love the idea of...

  16. Nurses Day...are you forgotten ?

    momnurse23 replied to Keepstanding's topic in School

    OK. I hope this is not a repeat. I don't know what I hit the last time I was posting. Last year was my first year as a school nurse. I didn't even know it was school nurse's day until my Principal...
