Are you comparing a few appropriate medical questions any COMPETANT nurse would know to ask to a full-scale gyno exam?
My point is incompetance of government employees... Are you making the point that govt. are competant?
No, I'm saying that I don't think it necessarily implies incompetence that the nurse didn't do a complete gynelogical history on a child who said she had cramps. In most schools, the nurse provides acute care (of a sort; they aren't allowed to give medicines of any sort, even cough drops, at our school), and when the child's last period might have been is rather irrelevant as to whether or not she's having cramps today, unless maybe she'd showed up in the clinic last week also claiming to have cramps.

Actually, no, I'm merely commenting on this particular situation. I'm not intending to paint with a broad brush, although that may be your agenda.
By the way, the teacher in me is compelled to tell you that there is no "a" in competent or competence.
I wonder if there is a charity out there that promotes and educates kids to drop off their infants at hospitals and other safe drop locations?
This nurse did not notice a girl about to deliver a baby...
I made my point about this being another good example of government employee incompetance...
What is your problem? I have no AGENDA other than what I plainly stated
wait... are you a school nurse?
look, I AM painting a broad brush because I HAVE WORKED FOR GOVERNEMTN AGENCIES on and off for the past 20 years.
75% of the people are total incomptant boobs. AT LEAST
Maybe you are inthe 25% of the good ones
No, I'm not a nurse at all.
Are you a nurse, or a medical professional?
Does your job entail work with a large number of teenaged girls?
oh I get it- you’re a lieral (at least you argue like one)
oh I get it- you’re a liberal (at least you argue like one)
“Obviously, anyone who missed the sarcasm in your post must have gone to public schools.”
Exactly....and we can therefore infer that they are also inclined towards murder, mayhem, and other social pathologies.
It reminds me of a “Jewish Mother” joke I heard a long time ago.
The Jewish Mother’s stance on abortion: “It’s a fetus until it’s 21”.
Mildly funny as a joke. Tragic in real life...
Precisely. ;-)
Once again another golden opportunity for you to take this waif under your wing and show us all the miracle of homeschooling.
Still waiting on documentation of Police forcing students into seats with bullets
Death penalty.
Thats what they used to do. They called them the Girls That Went Away - and I, as an adoptee have had to deal with that shame ie not knowing my medical history and not having the ability to access to my Original Birth Certificate. And my mother's family did not want to give me up. Yet here I am dealing with identity issues and depression because society wanted to punish both the mother and child. Thats a f'ing ugly and stupid way of dealing with a child. So you think there should be a second class of children who had the misfortune of being born out of wedlock? I hope you dont talk about the right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. My rights have been cut in half because of that old policy of shame.
We now celebrate and subsidize single motherhood. The result is that more than 70% of black babies are born out of wedlock. For whites it is greater than 30%. That adds up to a lot of hurt for a lot of children. The moms are doing lousy as well.
By the way, my cousin is adopted. He is now in his 60s. He has never had any interest in finding his birth parents. He was a decorated war hero in Vietnam, has had a long and happy marriage, three great kids, and highly successful 35 year career as a civil engineer. His advice to whiny adults who were adopted as children would be, “ Grow some hair on your chest. Get over it!”
And Im sorry you dont have the compassion to understand the harm that adoption causes for so many people. Im sorry that you are incapable of understanding that children should never pay the price for the stupidity of their parents. Im sorry that you dont feel shame in taking away a person's identity.
Maybe you should just stay away from children all together?
What a jerk you are.
