  1. Lice Check

    Cattz replied to lifelearningrn's topic in School

  5. What is wrong with parents?

    Cattz replied to DEgalRN's topic in School

    Just a thought. Does your school have the 24 hour fever free rule? Not that it is always (rarely) followed by parents. But, at least is a very nice conversation

    Cattz replied to GdBSN's topic in School

    Cattz replied to GdBSN's topic in School

    Cattz replied to Cattz's topic in School

    Cattz replied to Keepstanding's topic in School
