    squidbilly posted a topic in School

  2. Scents in the Classroom and Respiratory Issues?

    I am by no means suggesting that we ought to institute a scent-free policy on our campus. Every asthmatics triggers are different, with over 200 different "irritants" having been identified it is up...

  4. Do you like your long commute?

    I have a 4th grade student with very poor hygiene, and I have been pondering how to approach the potentially touchy subject. I see the student often, so I think it would be just as appropriate for me...

  8. New School Nurse has Loved and Hated the Job

    squidbilly replied to squidbilly's topic in School

    My decision to resign so soon was due to feeling that the lack of training created an unsafe environment that could potentially jeopordize my license. Since this is a public forum I will refrain from...

    squidbilly replied to squidbilly's topic in School

    I am in California, where jobs for new grads (especially ADNs) are hard to come by. My school district is in a very impoverished, rural community. The pay works out to about $22/hr, which is about...

  10. Best moment of the week so far

    squidbilly replied to kegreat's topic in School

    I start each day by visiting a diabetic student in a K/1 classroom for a FSBS. My visit usually falls during music time, where the teacher's aide plays guitar and sings with the class. This always...
