    OyWithThePoodles replied to guest83140's topic in School

    I was mad because this kid does stupid stuff like this all the time. But I couldn't be *that* mad because I got my pinkie stuck in the end of a hospital bed in nursing class. In high school. They...

    The Nut Conundrum

    OyWithThePoodles replied to BrisketRN's topic in School

    Agree, what is the reasoning for wanting to serve coconut water? You could support with evidence that coconut isn't actually a nut but one child "reacting" and an angry parent is all it

    OyWithThePoodles replied to Farawyn's topic in School

    Would you pray with a student?

    OyWithThePoodles replied to smudges.blips's topic in School

    Plain and simple the question was "would you pray with a student", not "would you shove your religion down a students throat". As I said, if the student initiated I would. That said, if the student...

    OyWithThePoodles replied to Farawyn's topic in School

    I'm a KY girl and this school is just a few hours away. Hubs teaches high school and every time he tells me of an upset kid (over silly things like seating charts) it makes me so nervous for him. How...

    OldDude, I agree, and I wish I could be more blunt. But the powers that be would frown on that. I'm honestly surprised I didn't get "a talkin' to" about sending an email before it was

    Vitals question

    OyWithThePoodles replied to Amethya's topic in School

    A lot of littles with strep throat will only present with a stomachache (and temp of course). You do you, boo, but I might suggest getting a temps on those stomachaches, if nothing else, at least if...

    Inappropriate to ask teachers to stop sending kids after a certain time?

    OyWithThePoodles replied to Scorchednurse's topic in School

    I wouldn't placate the kid. No fever or vomiting with 30 minutes left in the day, you don't get to lay down, you go straight back to class. The kids (and teachers) may see that you are letting them...
