    School Shootings

    OldDude replied to Farawyn's topic in School

    I've seen little pink purse sized revolvers sold to "the ladies" for personal defense. It's most likely the gun would end up being a gift taken by the attacker. HELL, trained police officers still...

    School Shootings

    OldDude replied to Farawyn's topic in School

    I have no idea how some psycho gets enough weapons to outfit a small army so, on the political side, that's one thing that could occur; complete revamp, nationally and internationally, of the...

    How to handle a 3rd grade hypochondriac?

    OldDude replied to River Song, RN's topic in School

    Let him know the only thing you can do is nothing or call an ambulance. Teach him how to assess himself, when he comes in, have him do a self assessment, and ask him if he wants you to call an...
