    School Shootings

    OldDude replied to Farawyn's topic in School

    Well, if it can happen in my district, it can happen anywhere. My school district is usually on the tail end of the slinky regarding decisions of change but I applaud our school board for a quick,...

    If you use the "waiting for backup before you engage" logic you don't need to have an officer on campus at

    He decided to resign instead of being suspended without pay, which is what Sheriff Israel had done after the incident. Also, yes I agree the SRO could very well have followed policy...but he didn't!!...

    School Shootings

    OldDude replied to Farawyn's topic in School

    So much for the argument..."there was an armed police officer on campus at the time of the shooting and it didn't make a difference." I told you guys something didn't make sense about this and now we...

    High School Shooter Copy Cats?

    OldDude replied to guest83140's topic in School

    We have such a campus here...I know its purpose but it ends up being a "vacation" from regular ed and the kids end up getting so much attention its almost a reward in some cases. It's like our in...

    A student from the HS and a student from the JH was removed last Friday for similar circumstances. Here is part of a district wide announcement that went out today... "We would also ask that you...

    Fired for Falsifying Documents. What to expect

    OldDude replied to LPNewbie's topic in General Nursing

    This is the core of the issue...you can't falsify something without an intentional action on your part...it's an error. Don't back

    100 mile commute. Worth it?

    OldDude replied to indomie23's topic in General Nursing

    Be wary of prn "requiring" a number of shifts...they usually do the schedule and fill in the blanks with prn so it's unlikely they'll let you pick 8 shifts at your convenience and fill in the blanks...

    School Shootings

    OldDude replied to Farawyn's topic in School

    Yes...I think the decline and lack of mental healthcare options is likely the greatest contribution to the problem. Sadly, I think it'll take at least as long to reverse the trend -IF- the lawmakers...

    Here is what I'm talking about - "doing something" until a plan can be initiated instead of hand wringing and political infighting while "doing nothing" but restocking body bags. Our school board met...

    OldDude replied to Farawyn's topic in School

    Did you replace a school nurse? If so, do you know how long she was there before you replaced her? I say her because most school nurses are "her," especially 24 years ago. I might start a new thread...

    School Shootings

    OldDude replied to Farawyn's topic in School

    How about if the shooter was YOUR own child? You've broached a legitimate, ugly, and terrifying, reality of protecting a school or self defense in general. I believe 99.9% of those who obtain "license...

    School Shootings

    OldDude replied to Farawyn's topic in School

    Texas went from a "concealed carry permit" to a "license to carry" permit. This means you can openly carry, or conceal carry, a handgun in public with various restrictions like schools, etc. The rule...
