  8. Where are the school nurses?

    WineRN replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in School

    I think the article titles are a bit misleading. Is there a "shortage" or are schools just unable to afford nursing staff? Or do schools see school nurses as only "bandaid givers" and not grasp why...

    WineRN replied to Amethya's topic in School

  16. PARENTS say the darndest things

    WineRN replied to MHDNURSE's topic in School
