    Random Questions?

    Usually they bring me the kids and I just let them sit there quietly and then ask them what's wrong. 9/10 they tell me and we chat a bit, then the admin takes them away. For the LS kids, they have...

    She's been evaluated but it seems to get worse. It's my issue because I'm giving her medications and I'm the one who has to call the doctor and all that but also because I also know how she feels, I...

    Strange hearing screening question

    I make it fun for the kids, I tell them they can "Raise their hand, raise the roof, party over here (Moves to the right, moves to the left) do 'touch down' their arms or even dab (Dabs). Just as long...

    I'm not allowed to give any medication without a doctor's order (Medical Aide, not RN). Once I get it, I just give it when they need it and informed their parents they took it because of whatever...
