    OyWithThePoodles replied to SWimbish's topic in School

    I would let the parent know that the child did not come to see you, therefore unless they see a doctor or use a parent note-if your district allows-then it will be unexcused. I would also ask how they...

    OyWithThePoodles replied to momto5RN's topic in School

    Was this a concussion?

    OyWithThePoodles replied to NurseBeans's topic in School

    It sounds like you did everything right, you tried to notify mom. I notify on any head injury, and if they are symptomatic I make sure I talk to someone and usually have them pick them up. Of course...

    Office location

    OyWithThePoodles replied to NurseMrn's topic in School

    My office is located in the main office. I love this. I don't have my own phone line (another story for another day) so anytime I call out, parents never listen to the voicemail so the office staff...

    OyWithThePoodles posted a topic in Infusion, Intravenous

    OyWithThePoodles replied to OyWithThePoodles's topic in School
