  3. How to NOT Aid a Cheater?

    Wave Watcher replied to Angeljho's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

  5. Mean director

    Wave Watcher replied to rn4me2be's topic in School

  8. seasonal allergies

    Wave Watcher replied to kidzcare's topic in School

    Educating the parents that allergy medication should be taken EVERY day and not just when symptoms arise. Otherwise, it won't do the child any good. :-) We are seeing a ton of allergies right now...

  11. To tell or not to tell!

    Wave Watcher replied to XNavyCorpsman's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    "You shred it, wheat!" In mobster translation: "You said it!" Always a good morning when you are at work, eating a banana and looking up mobster slang from the Dirty 30's.

    Wave Watcher replied to chiro13's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner
