Thanks for the suggestions. I had not thought of this as a teaching opportunity, but children do need to learn that the nurse's office (and any medical facility) is a safe place.
A third grader came to my office today and asked me to tell her teacher that she was sick. She looked fine to me, so I asked her why. She said, "I went to the bathroom in my pants, and I don't want anyone to find out." Would you do it? (I did, BTW)
You missed my pet peeve: Changing wet clothes does not require a degree in Nursing. You teach young children. Have them keep a change in their cubby, and have them use it themselves if necessary.
We have one, but it is not posted online for security purposes. That makes sense, I guess, to avoid the "bad guys" from knowing what we are going to do.

I still struggle with the idea that bathroom accidents require the services of a medical professional. Hello, parents, do you take your children to the ER when they wet their pants at home?
