    nursejoey05 replied to sarajasmine's topic in General Nursing

    Ps...I just got a BIG scare and a good laugh. I got to thinking that this is the first year my dd has gone to this school and I've never checked out her school nurse. So I go to the staff list on the...

    nursejoey05 replied to Graciegirlienurse's topic in General Nursing
