    AdobeRN replied to villageRN's topic in School

  19. School and hospital?

    AdobeRN replied to KKEGS's topic in School

  25. How do YOU check for lice?

    AdobeRN replied to JerseyTomatoMDCrab's topic in School

    don't beat yourself up about it - the parent should have been checking all along too and should have found them before you. If I find the lice or if a parent reports lice, kid gets sent home but may...
