If it were me, i'd report this to my supervisor (principal) as well as guidance. If the decision to make a call to CPS is made, which is a reasonable decision if this info has any merit, be sure that...
I live in my danskos and typically don't have any issues with sweatiness. Granted, mine don't have an XP insole. Try the cotton socks, that may work better and stuff some crumpled up news paper in the...

perhaps nursing education in a hospital setting? I know a few nurses who have taken this type of job and they saw it's great. I've never personally done it, just
I think there's no harm in taking a little break to think about something other than work, as long as it doesn't take priority over patient care. The problem a lot of other people don't realize is...
A lot of schools in my area are still closed after the impact from Hurricane Sandy, but i'm open and ready to rock... Hoping it's a good day - i'm dealing now with kids coming back after a week of no...

i don't have any spare shoes, but i do occasionally have socks. I am always amused when staff brings in a student and mistakes my office for Walmart and is truly shocked that i don't have a change of...
i've never heard of a school nurse needing to take any first aid course beyond their nursing training. I will tell you that I did challenge the EMT-B course in my state which involved a weekend class...

You've given her ample time and occasion to contact you. Go ahead and contact HR -and be sure to mention that you haven't heard back from your manager and it's been a week or 2 weeks or however long...
In my last district, we would send a letter home after 10 visits per nurse's discretion just simply saying that so and so was making frequent visits to the nurse and to review if there is a health...
i would love if the teachers would all take bandaids and just treat minor cuts in class or sent to the bathroom for stomach aches or simply realize i can't do a blessed thing about a head cold - and...
I hear ya! What make it worse is that I have a few malingerers that also have ridiculous mama bear parents that want to be called for every MRI (that's math related illness) and will usually pick...
Why couldn't you each take one difficult patient? I understand that she had a rough day with the two of them the day prior, but every work day isn't peaches and sunshine. You have to accept that...
