Had a kid bring his wet, bloody tooth and plop it right on my desk.

C'mon now!

Or the kid that did running knee slide into my office.

C'mon now!

The ones old enough to cover their mouths but choose to cough right in your face instead.

All together: C'mon now!!

Some things just make me shake my head.

Why is a hot glue gun allowed ANYWHERE near a school? C'mon now!

Why would you eat toothpaste on a dare? C'mon now!

The hot glue gun is the bane of my existence. It is why I have Burn Gel in my office.

I'm in my 30s and shouldn't be allowed anywhere near a hot glue gun...

Today's C'mon visit from a 1st grader.

"I'm not sick but my dog pooped in my underwear" This was 4 hours into the school day!! No dog on campus and no smell so back to class the little dear went! The worst part was the teacher that overheard the student's complaint and was shocked because I didn't take them to the bathroom and check!

Yep - it's why i created my "minor burn" template on health master. In fact I feel like the first lesson where the kids make something with the glue guns should be any day now.

4th grade was in the makers' space last week-23 minor burns from the hot glue guns. 1st grade was used hot glue guns the prior week, no burns...

Which supports my theory that the ms students burn themselves on "accidentally purpose"...

Just found out a student had a significant cardiac episode last week. How did I find out about it, you might wonder? Student came to me today stating that she was feeling similar symptoms to what happened last week. Jumped into immediate assessment mode after finding out what happened last week, all was good today thank goodness (no carotid massage or pre-cordial thump needed ifyouknowwhatImean).

Why no one thought the school nurse might like to know about this before today is a question I will probably never know the answer to.

P.S. I used my hair oil yesterday, but not today. (Legit! I use Argan Oil in my hair during the static months).

Yes 1000X to this!! I can't believe how many times i'll just happen across a student on crutches or with a cast or a large angry looking bandage and ask what happened? Oh, I broke my etc or had my whatever removed. OR, as you stated - the kid coming in with a beat up and aged ER bracelet stating that they had a cardiac event, concussion, severe breathing event - whatever. No call - no note. But you bet your sweet bottom that if something happened in school and we didn't consult our handy dandy crystal ball, the parent would be besides themselves.

My favorite variation of this is when the parent has been in constant contact with the teacher re: major medical event/issue and the teacher doesn't feel the need to inform the nurse!

Ankle injury happened 2 days ago and you have already had athletics 5th period (which you worked out in), but you need to come see the nurse 8th period during English......C'mon Now.

I told him to check the lost and found...
