    Amethya replied to luv2's topic in General Nursing

    Florida students self carrying own otcs

    Amethya replied to Flare's topic in School

    I think it's sort of a bad/good idea. Bad idea because we can't monitor these kids at all, and if they share the meds to their friends and one of them is allergic to one of them? VERY BAD! But it's...

    New Middle School Nurse!

    Amethya replied to SWimbish's topic in School

    Be kind but firm. If you are too kind, they will take advantage of you, but show compassion because we may not know what's really going on at home. The one thing I do is counsel some of the kids...

    I'm not sure what they expect!- Small vent

    Amethya replied to Supernrse01's topic in School

    How to get parents to cooperate with immunizations?

    Amethya replied to Amethya's topic in School
