    Students under the influence at school

    Amethya replied to NurseVal93's topic in School

    I had to do that last year, and I was honestly lost because I was never taught how to tell the difference in kids under the influence. I know by experience (Not me! Never did drugs in my life) but...

    Amethya replied to nursetlm's topic in School

    I stock it, but the medications that are OTC are mostly for the staff, and other things like ointments and creams, I always call parents to ask for permission or look in their charts (I made sure to...
