    AdobeRN replied to kidzcare's topic in School

    Nothing fancy - I made a paper chain with 30 links pinned on the bulletin board next to my calendar - my scheduled med kiddos get a kick out of being the chosen one to remove a daily

    AdobeRN replied to BluebellRN's topic in School

    AdobeRN replied to Amethya's topic in School

  10. Essential Oil Diffusers

    AdobeRN replied to BluebellRN's topic in School

    AdobeRN replied to Feral.Cat.Herder's topic in School

    AdobeRN replied to guest464345's topic in School

  23. What the Buckeye?

    AdobeRN replied to SaltineQueen's topic in School

    I feel the same - I don't need a law on the books to tell me to give "correct information" in educating the parents about how to get around the immunization laws. The parents should have already...
