    jnemartin posted a topic in School

    jnemartin replied to jnemartin's topic in School

    True. RE coverage (this is a bit of drama, but here goes): my "sub nurse" is a parent of a current student, and I have had reports of her being unprofessional while subbing for me. Specifically...

  4. I don;t pull teeth

    jnemartin replied to MHDNURSE's topic in School

    Girl, I hear you. I learned REAL quick that there will be no wrapping in my office. To be honest, at first I was a bit conflicted on if it would even be within my scope of practice to wrap an injured...

  9. I don;t pull teeth

    jnemartin replied to MHDNURSE's topic in School

    I don't pull teeth, but I will instruct the kid how to pull it - haha! Also, I don't wrap anything (ankle, wrist, etc) without a doctor's note. The kids LOVE to get things "wrapped," I think because...

  10. When to tell Principals I'm pregnant!

    jnemartin replied to jnemartin's topic in School

  12. When to tell Principals I'm pregnant!

    jnemartin replied to jnemartin's topic in School

    Hi everyone! I've been tasked with putting together a positive body image session for 7th and 8th grade girls (at the last minute!). Last year, the 7th graders watched a YouTube clip from the Super...

  18. Body Image Sessions for MS

    jnemartin replied to jnemartin's topic in School

    jnemartin replied to BunnyBunnyBSNRN's topic in School
