    Growing pains?? (chronic intermittent leg pain)

    Kooky Korky replied to BunnyBunnyBSNRN's topic in School

    Do you have a copy of the MRI result? Do you think it was actually done? Seen by Ortho? 2nd or 3rd Pediatrician? Involve CPS? Even if student is withdrawn, this might be good to do for the child's...

    horrible immunization compliance rate

    Kooky Korky replied to jnemartin's topic in School

    I wonder who you can ask, anonymously, or where you can turn, anonymously, to find out what the law is in your state. Local Health Department? Also, if your Admin won't back you up, I wonder about...

    Turnover Times

    Kooky Korky replied to RNWoodhouse's topic in Operating Room
