"Where is your pass?"

"When was the last time you went poop?"

"Did you wash your hands?"

"Wash your hands, please."

"You need to wash your hands every time you use the bathroom. Yes, even when it's just pee."

"NASS WNL. AOx4, PERRLA. Denies n/v, dizziness, blurry vision, confusion. Able to recall events prior to and after hitting head. No swelling, redness, bruising at this time. Ice pack applied for comfort. Mother notified via phone call. RTC."

"Please flush the toilet."

"I cannot fix allergies."

"My magic wand is in the shop."

"you are going home in 1 hour, I think you can make it."

YES!!!

[SnugglePuggle, MSN, RN]

"What can I do for you?"

"Why did you not eat anything for breakfast?"

"Did something happen today that upset you?"

"Welcome to womanhood"

"Unfortunately, my x-ray vision is out for repair"

"Ugh...You're killing me, smalls!"

...

Ugh . . . no offense to you at all but someone I used to work with who had some . . . ahem. . .mental issues . . . said this all this time.

It is like fingernails on a chalkboard.

Small vent over.

It has been 1 year and 7 months since I "retired" from school nursing so I'm trying to remember common words I used as a school nurse.

The only thing that comes to mind is "Do you use medical marijuana?". I was the person who did the drug screenings for the jr. high and high school athletes. I don't miss that job.

[BeckyESRN]

"Really???"

"What now?"

"The answer is still no"

"You'll live, I promise"

most charted words-abrasion, superficial no detectable bleeding; body impact-absent bruising, absent swelling, full and active ROM; stomach ache, new onset, duration less than 5 minutes, water and return to class, lunch in 5 minutes; headache, onset during math test, water and return to class

I didn't hear the toilet flush.

I didn't hear the sink running. Are you sure you washed your hands?

[KKEGS, MSN, RN]

"I think you're gonna live." "Try to power through the day, buddy." "You get out of school in 15 minutes." "Who is your teacher?"

Recently got to use this line, "My office is not a snack bar." when he came in search of the Nutrigrain bars he knows I have in my desk for my kids who skip breakfast but need to take their meds with food.

No redness, bruising, or swelling visualized at this time.
