  4. School Title

    WineRN replied to Keeperofbandages's topic in School

    WineRN replied to Farawyn's topic in School

  11. PTO/Sick Leave, etc.

    WineRN replied to MHDNURSE's topic in School

    ^^ THIS. If it is classified as Personal Time then they legally cannot tell you how to use it or "black out" dates. And you don't have to tell anyone WHY you are taking off, just that you need to...

    WineRN replied to skwirlfixer's topic in School

    Whenever I send a students epi or inhaler I send out an index card with instructions on how to use it JUST in case everyone looses their minds during an

  22. C'Mon Now!

    WineRN replied to OyWithThePoodles's topic in School
