    Sounds like you've put forth due diligence in everything you have the authority to act on. Good job. Try not to fret over it. You inherited a mess. You're moving forward and that's all you can

    When Teachers Try to Throw You Under the Bus

    OldDude replied to lifelearningrn's topic in School

    Unless you see it with your own eyes or hear it with your own ears it's hearsay which doesn't equate to factual; the teacher may or may not be giving you legitimate information and what information...

    Nurse Imposters

    OldDude replied to Nursemccaleb's topic in General Nursing

    If she is being employed and working under the direction of the physician she can call herself anything she wants to. She can't violate any nurse practice act, since she isn't a licensed nurse, unless...

    I'm not buying it. No way - no how. If I was there with you I'd put you in a head lock and give you noogies until you cried uncle and could clear your head. But I'm not there so this is my weekend...

    Seeing Red

    OldDude replied to UrbanHealthRN's topic in School

    That's ok to be mad. Any of us would be spitting nails...but the hard reality is that it isn't going to change. You're not in that "club" and you're not going to be and the supervising educator...

    OldDude replied to ContraryMary's topic in School

    The injection is just to get the hydrocortisone on board as soon as possible to counteract the loss over the stress of whatever event may be going on. I'd sure ask for a clarification as to what is an...

    "Guidelines" for Sending Students to Office

    OldDude replied to Rizowe's topic in School

    I'd just leave it alone. It would only reinforce what some of the teachers are already doing and would fly over the heads of your "target" recipients. Plus, you don't want to give anyone ammunition to...

    When will the lice drama end???

    OldDude replied to MHDNURSE's topic in School

    I don't think school nurses in Narnia have to deal with head lice; otherwise they'll be here as long as human heads exist. But it can be fun to

    Growing pains?? (chronic intermittent leg pain)
