  3. Epipens and field trips

    chasinRT replied to chasinRT's topic in School

    chasinRT replied to T-Bird78's topic in School

    I make much, much less than I did when I worked in the hospital. Much less. But I work much less and I went from having 24-hr accountability for my departments to going home at 315 and having the...

  5. Epipens and field trips

    chasinRT replied to chasinRT's topic in School

  6. Epipens and field trips

    chasinRT replied to chasinRT's topic in School

    chasinRT replied to NanaPoo's topic in School

    Wind it down the finger to squeeze the swelling out and make the finger skinnier, stick the end of the string under the ring (which is the toughest part) and then pull/unwind the string. It's pretty...

    chasinRT replied to chasinRT's topic in School
