  9. Wrap it up?

    Cattz replied to Flare's topic in School

    If my assessment doesn't make bells and whistles go off in my nurse brain, and I haven't heard from a parent. I probably won't wrap. If I have a concern, I would call the parent to get the scoop and...

    Cattz replied to tat_nurse's topic in School

    Cattz replied to zombieghoast's topic in School

    My first question to the teacher would be if he/she has had the initial conversation with the parents? Whoever has the first hand information needs to take the first

    Cattz replied to OyWithThePoodles's topic in School

    I have a very close friend that works in acute care. The stories she tells me...no names, of course, I wouldn't know anyone where she works anyway...makes me pretty much believe that this way of...

    Cattz replied to OyWithThePoodles's topic in School

    Nurse Leigh. You are very perceptive. There are great stories and heartbreaking ones, usually all in the same day. Then, to know that we made a difference when they excel, learn, and become productive...

  23. Entitlement - Are We Making The Problem Worse?

    Cattz replied to OyWithThePoodles's topic in School
