    AdobeRN replied to Ptav65's topic in General Nursing

    AdobeRN replied to DEgalRN's topic in School

    It sounds like a great idea but it wouldn't work for us because of the alcohol/water mixture - kids would be drinking it. Our district just went thru and got rid of the alcohol based hand sanitizer...

    AdobeRN replied to KKEGS's topic in School

    I don't have a problem checking a random request here and there from a parent - some people have never dealt with it nor know what to look for - I didn't even know what live lice or nits looked like...

    AdobeRN replied to heavenwith7's topic in School

    I have found that parents do not want to pay the extra money for the spacers - majority of time insurance does not cover them and they run about $25 thru the pharmacies. Do you have a Children's...

  18. Nurse Self Evaluation

    AdobeRN replied to Schoolnurse73's topic in School

    I need to add that when it is time for the evaluation meeting with the AP - I sit there and let her read it to me, I nod my head in agreeance (is that even a word, LOL) and

    AdobeRN replied to palli's topic in School

    We had our first one this year for 5th grade - part of a fundraiser thru PTA. I was nervous about it but it turned out ok - I did have a few "asthma" issues but I would have had them with a regular...

    AdobeRN replied to Amethya's topic in School
