    grammy1 replied to MrNurse(x2)'s topic in School

  12. Self Harm

    grammy1 replied to mom to many's topic in School

    I agree with Farawyn, this is definitely a "stat" situation. If the parent is unwilling to take her to the doctor and discuss the entire situation, I'm afraid I'd be making a CPS call. We are lucky...

    grammy1 replied to Libby1987's topic in General Nursing
