    Sleeping in the Closet?

    OldDude replied to adventure_rn's topic in General Nursing

    I did this exact thing for the two years I worked nights. The twin mattress fit in it perfectly. My walkin closet had an AC vent to it and an electrical outlet. I plugged a fan into it for the...

    Oppositional defiant disorder

    OldDude replied to LisaNICUrn's topic in Psychiatric

    I am an elementary school nurse and I see ODD on a fairly regular basis. I'm skeptical of some of the diagnosis and pretty sure it was applied simply to rationalize and explain the kid's behavior. On...

    OldDude replied to charlimoon's topic in Pediatric

    If it's prolonged involving multiple attempts, maybe, but unlikely otherwise. LPs on infants are always hardest on the one holding. You got a good sample, try not to worry about it. Sounds like you...

    I told my teenagers if you want to call attention to the solution for school shootings getting together and shouting "No more guns!" isn't the answer. Instead of putting your effort into such a...

    School Shootings

    School security issues

    OldDude replied to SaltineQueen's topic in School

    Every district is hyper-sensitive and hyper vigilant now and I know you'd want them to lock a school down needlessly instead of the alternative. As I've said before I have two in HS and one in JH. I...
