    When to call and not call parents?

    MrNurse(x2) replied to MrsNurse08's topic in School

    What do you do when the evidence isn't there but you kind of think it will be eventually?

    MrNurse(x2) replied to Supernrse01's topic in School

    Am I overreacting?

    MrNurse(x2) replied to nicunursem10's topic in School

    I am far more lenient with my K-2 than my 3-8 students. Very few K-2 hate school, they have to be feeling bad. I am at a small school, I know almost all my students and their personalities, helpful...

    what do you do?

    MrNurse(x2) replied to chasinRT's topic in School

    Completing school attendance your task too?

    MrNurse(x2) replied to MegWorth's topic in School

    Tough call. I used to do attendance, I was available and I wanted a handle of the illnesses. It was taken away, thankfully. I only had to deal with 8 teachers, but I had to hunt them down. Making your...

    MrNurse(x2) replied to ruby_jane's topic in School

    ... and he is still here at the end of the day, mom or dad never called and I kept sending him back to class. The look on his face when I told him his parents aren't calling back was so heart...
