  2. Who informs the parent?

    scuba nurse replied to avecta's topic in School

    Like the others have posted, I only comment to parents on the medical issues (scratches, bruises, and what I did for them). When the parents ask about discipline issues (for either party involved) I...

    scuba nurse replied to AFwife727's topic in School

    scuba nurse replied to purplegal's topic in General Nursing

    scuba nurse replied to geoda's topic in General Nursing

    I used EAP once at a hospital where I worked at, and it had NOTHING to do alcohol, drugs, or any psych issues. (It had to do with a family member and I needed advice on how to help them out). Well, I...

    scuba nurse replied to ItsThatJenGirl's topic in General Nursing

    scuba nurse replied to ricard.garcia77's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    scuba nurse replied to Lakeshore18's topic in General Nursing

  25. Lice policy?

    scuba nurse replied to momto5RN's topic in School

    If nits are found, they stay, if live lice, then they go home, and that is mainly because of the principal and teachers who freak out over lice. They need to be rechecked the next day upon return to...
