My wife showed our staff why we are here yesterday. A kinder was choking at lunch, unable to do any air exchange and my wife did the Heimlich. Most nurses make it through life never doing this. This...

I have told my own children for years that pushing fluids is the best treatment. All I ever heard was thanks for nothing from them, until my oldest tried it out of desperation. He is now a disciple on...

Children are not the most observant people. We are a very small school, we really don't do very much. We see 8-10 students a day, have 5 meds and one T1D. Luckily we both work other jobs for our...
But children can have ZERO disappointment in life. Doesn't matter if the rest of their classmates get sick. Meanwhile, my two sat home 4 days while their class went to New Orleans, talk about...

This is the same thought process of anti-vaxxers. Rather have a dead child than autistic (if it were true). The staff ran the little guy into our office from the lunch room. Next year, we are gone,...

My wife is downplaying it, but that was my thought. Not even a thanks for letting us know, just a complaint because we don't have contact info and had to call the grandfather. Rich parents, poor
My paid position is full time in a very critical IMC, as in only vented patients or vasopressors are in the CCU, we get everything else. I hate bedside, I have done it for 32 years, I'm done. I love...

An aside to the main post, just like nurses have their culture, this is a glimpse into the police/ police wanna be culture. Why there has to be an internal review department in police

My resignation letter would include the words " I will seek legal counsel should the $2,000 fee be assessed, as this resignation comes in the midst of a hostile work
Concussions should be in your office. They really need to be on brain rest until cleared by MD, so library is out and sidelines, as you have identified, carry increased risk. I send concussions home...

My building is small and sending the student is our norm. They also inform the teacher they are being dismissed. I would find it unacceptable to be away from the office for more than 2

Sounds like a child who doesn't like having to conform to the authority in school after a childhood without structure. Honestly, I am surprised we don't see this more

The fact that they waited for surgery proves you didn't "miss" anything. It was a progression and, given the info you provided, nothing really pointed to anything abnormal. I have seen surgeons look...

Back the truck up, a child cut themselves with suicidal ideation and they are back in school the next day? I am sheltered in my population, I understand that, but come on, no inpatient (as...

Ahh, no. This is not in ANY way, shape or form nursing's lane. Do you have a counselor? This is behavioral all the way. Approach your Principal with this angle and see how fast this gets corrected....

After 30 years in this, saying quiet doesn't change anything, full moons are powerless and I am more often the windshield than the bug. We see what we want, and these superstitions make you part of...

The hardest part is sitting here watching parents raising children who you know will not fare well as adults if their parents continue taking them out of uncomfortable situations. I fear for our...
My son woke up sick this morning and had a borderline fever. He proceeded to drag his feet but also mentioned that his teacher said he would get a zero even if he was sick on an assignment due today....
