Are there areas in education that may have deficiencies? I am teaching classes to the middle schoolers regarding drug abuse, because they don't offer that. I have also found that the outgoing eighth...

I missed the fourth grade comment. Oh my, she is wonderfully parented. Agree, strict doctor's orders and no deviation. Have her bring lunch before and after eating to spare the lows. One blessing of...

She is a typical teen. (Just saw the fourth grade! Oh my)She wants control and this is the best place to exert it. As Far said, stick to doctor's orders and don't deviate. When she goes to argue, make...
That's the beauty of nursing, diversity. There is no way I could work NICU, I am very thankful there are those with that gifting. Good luck with your search and hopefully you will find that perfect...

We have parents volunteer to cover lunch in the area I have my office in. I set up for lunch daily and I am called on to quiet down students when they are a little too loud. I'll never understand why...

I work a private school. These teachers are making a tad over poverty level. They are hands and feet better than the public school teachers I know, but the mission is more important to them than the...
The laws of supply/ demand dictate our pay. Hospitals, like schools, police departments and fire departments, rely on numbers to make them work. The 400 bed hospital I worked for employed over 1500...
That sounds like a culture that sends discipline issues to the nurse to calm down to avoid the hassle of writing up. I would do what you are doing, sticking to your guns and changing the culture. If a...

Rashes are the most common issue in children and hardest to diagnose. I would send child home with physician referral and clearance, but I am in a private and have that latitude. All my kids are...
I totally agree that your coworker is enabling her. Nurse Lovely is getting her ego stroked by this manipulative patient and you are getting thrown under the bus. Stop this

We just came off a week of rain, these kids were like a powder keg yesterday. Had one who just came back from illness hit his head really hard after going insane

That's disciplined in my school. We are to report behavior just as teachers. I had to remind a 4th grader this morning she was being disrespectful. We had to literally peel her out of the car, carry...
