  10. Start your day with a good reaming out!

    cooties_are_real replied to Flare's topic in School

    If not mind readers, we should read every health history (and I mean history from k-present). How many times have I heard, "it's in LD records." So we should just know. I do have to say I love my MS...

    cooties_are_real replied to tining's topic in School

    cooties_are_real replied to lovely07's topic in School

    Here at my high school, I have not had much of this. Only a handful of time do I remember. The nurse that trained me was a tough cookie and had most of the campus lined out. My issue is the students...

    cooties_are_real replied to BunnyBunnyBSNRN's topic in School

    I have a few Little Darlings, I will not call home. No matter how much they visit, whine, cry, look pitiful or "vomit", but they have built that reputation. Some I will call after the 2nd visit, but...
