    Coming in late with a weird question

    Flare replied to Flare's topic in School

    nothing yet. I'm not threatened by them. I want what I want when I want it. Their claim of sovereigenty is as meaningful to me as it would be to a police officer asking them for a driver's license....

    Athletic Trainers

    Flare replied to EnoughWithTheIce's topic in School

    I don't have an AT here and when the kids come to me wanting me to step into that role, i politely refuse. I won't tape an injury or buddy tape fingers unless the very next stop is right to an ER or...

    touchy subject

    Flare replied to Nurse2Kids's topic in School

    Stomach pain-not hunger

    Flare replied to stephrooth's topic in School

    yes to all of this. if they can hold down the water and can comfortably remain in my office for 20 minutes or so then it's nothing too serious usually and a visit back to class is in order (and...

    Coming in late with a weird question

    Flare replied to Flare's topic in School

    exactly... they don't want the government except when it is convenient for them. Then they want it under their terms. Sorry, honey but it doesn't work like that. Something about cake and eating it...

    Flare replied to Eleven011's topic in School

    Flare replied to Flare's topic in School

    Essential oils?

    Flare replied to RedKat's topic in School

    i don't condone the use of essential oils in school. But that being said, I know that there are ways of parents letting students use them and teachers using them that I can do little about. Like...

    When you just feel like a patient is doomed :(

    Flare replied to MHDNURSE's topic in School

    Very scary and sad. I can see into this child's future because I have this future child here. Obese, acanthosis on their neck from a young age, a diet of junk - i'm not sure if he's ever eaten a...

    Bizarre Med Order
