    fetch replied to Spidey's mom's topic in School

    I kind of agree with the person in that article who said "why would you have your child read this on local news if you're worried about it affecting her self esteem?" Now she will DEFINITELY remember...

    How many nurses in your school??

    fetch replied to studentnurse9806's topic in School

    In my area, middle and high schools (and the combined ones, like K-8 or 6-12), all have one RN and one "health clerk". My understanding is that the clerk can be an MA but doesn't have to be - she does...

    My clinic is tiny. It forces me to be well-organized, lol! As for decoration, I decided early on to go with a Muppets theme. I have a few Muppets themed posters/wall clings, and since I am pretty...
