    Why are nurses the only profession that cannot accept gifts?

    Amethya replied to RockinNurse2018's topic in General Nursing

    As everyone is saying, I think it depends on the place you're working at. I work at a school, so it's super common to get gifts on

    Amethya replied to OyWithThePoodles's topic in School

    Oh, my boy knows this too. He saw me throw one away and he just casually replied, "You're on your period again?" I did explain to not talk about this to his dad (my older brother, his son, my nephew)...

    Quick Questions about SN

    Amethya replied to Amethya's topic in School

    Sadly that program Undies for Everyone said they only do system-wide donations, not just one school. So I have to wait to see if they approve my school system or not. :/ So I need a new plan for...

    Amethya replied to Amethya's topic in School

    I would but my principal doesn't want that unless they are prone of these issues. He has said, if the child wets themselves too much, they aren't ready for school. That's for the little ones, but for...
