    Assessing the student on drugs

    Flare replied to cjl_RN's topic in School

    but here's the thing, Roy, with the e-cigs and vapes you can't necessarily smell pot or cigarettes. They don't leave a residual odor on clothing. It may let out a smell in the moment but it's...

    Flare replied to JLA's topic in School

    a 30 k pay cut is a hard pill to swallow, but if you can swing it, it's so so worth it to be with your kid. A lot of us make up some of the pay difference by picking up some summer work. Summer...

    Family Protective Services

    Flare replied to KeeperOfTheIceRN's topic in School
