    The Big Chill

    k1p1ssk replied to beachynurse's topic in School

    Just this AM, a 4th grader comes down for an ice pack for her band-aided paper cut. I promptly explained that I know it stings, but ice ain't going to do anything and I'm no longer giving out ice...

    k1p1ssk replied to jess11RN's topic in School

    I have several acquaintances who are EMTs/Paramedics and every once in a while, one of them will post a meme on FB that essentially rips nurses to shreds... I can't even read the comments on those...

    I've got one presently who was on a preventative last year (not sure what) but Mom (who's a nurse) took him off it over the summer because "he was doing so well!"... Now, the Rx has expired and guess...

    k1p1ssk replied to jnemartin's topic in School

    k1p1ssk replied to MHDNURSE's topic in School

    Love this! I was originally going to be a marine biologist, but decided that a life of writing academic study papers while on a boat was not for me. I had never even considered a career in the...

    k1p1ssk replied to JustRNingAlong's topic in School

    Also for the latter (especially if I suspect school avoidance), I let the parent know that the student is stating they are too ill to stay at school and would they like to talk to LD about this,...
