    AdobeRN replied to MHDNURSE's topic in School

    AdobeRN replied to guest83140's topic in School

  4. Vague Absence Notes of illness

    AdobeRN replied to CrazySchoolNurse's topic in School

  5. Sending Home Any Covid Sx?

    AdobeRN replied to schoolnurse1118's topic in School

    AdobeRN replied to smartypants22's topic in Private Duty

    AdobeRN replied to tdean13's topic in School

    AdobeRN replied to Supernrse01's topic in School

  11. RN who has not worked

    AdobeRN replied to Jenn27may's topic in General Nursing

  12. RN's required to be sitters???

    AdobeRN replied to anneRN96's topic in General Nursing

    If my hospital wants to pay my RN salary to sit and watch a patient - why not??? My favorite "sitter" job was during flu season - sent to NICU to sit and make sure parents/visitors wash hands and don...

    AdobeRN replied to SchoolNurse91's topic in School

  19. Coronavirus and Schools

    AdobeRN replied to KeeperOfTheIceRN's topic in School

    1. I feel the same as you. Not concerned at the moment, casually listen to the news about it so that I can at least know something about the virus and what is going on in the world. My husband is...

    AdobeRN replied to SchoolNurse91's topic in School

  21. FERPA violation?
