    Happy Nurses' Week, my loves!

    OldDude replied to Farawyn's topic in School

    Multiple schools

    Epipen for classroom teaching?

    OldDude replied to pedi_nurse's topic in School

    I think it's a good idea but I'd recommend getting the OK from your campus administrator just in case there is some fringe complaint or objection by someone somewhere. But...I would make a "canned"...

    Ramadan

    OldDude replied to BunnyBunnyBSNRN's topic in School

    All very good points...but it's not up to the state to separate those kids from any other kids based on their religious belief and it's not up to the "informed faculty" to initiate any action or...

    Ramadan

    OldDude replied to BunnyBunnyBSNRN's topic in School

    Regardless of how capable your colleague is, I'd be wary of a hospital that would fill a critical care management position with some who has no such experience. You know, kinda of like the nursing...

    Texas school sets dress code for parents
