    Why are students stealing my food?!

    JenTheSchoolRN replied to littleINlpn's topic in School

    JenTheSchoolRN replied to amleah10's topic in School

    Charting!!??

    JenTheSchoolRN replied to jhlpn's topic in School

    As I mentioned above, I miss SNAP so very much. SchoolBrains is great for the school, but it has a long way to go to be SNAP. That said, I love computer

    JenTheSchoolRN replied to Em31200's topic in General Nursing

    It is the same way at the Boston Marathon. I've worked the tents and they do give us a some stock of OTC meds - but only the above licensed folks mentioned above could give it. But as I read this...

    JenTheSchoolRN replied to jhlpn's topic in School

    Why are students stealing my food?!

    JenTheSchoolRN replied to littleINlpn's topic in School

    Yep. I know kids come from terrible situations. I get that. I see it all the time at my school. If a kid asks, I will get them fed. However, manners are always important. I want to teach kids to get...

    JenTheSchoolRN replied to anh06005's topic in School
