  3. head injury

    BeckyESRN replied to farmgoat's topic in School

    I call for anything that leaves a mark(redness, bruise, scratch) on the face/head. Head injuries that leave no mark and have no SxS to be concerned over, I don't call. If it's something forceful, like...

  4. School Nurse Lifehacks!
