A wetting epidemic!

Published

Just had two fifth graders in here with wet pants. Gosh, I thought to myself, how strange! Neither of these two have ever had any problem with accidents before now, and they are old enough to not be shy about telling their teacher when they need to go.

I start to get information from Student #1 about if she brought extra clothes, if she wet her pants as well as underwear, etc. She says "I didn't wet my underwear, I went down the slide."

Wouldn't you know it, after a full morning of rain these two lovelies decided the slide would be fun today.

Sorry duckies but you don't get to hang out in my clinic for playing in puddles!

I once had a six grader come in to the elementary school ( to pick up a sibling) who wet their pants. I was very appalled. Ofcourse I didn't show this to the student...

Cute story! I didn't suspect the slide until you mentioned it!

Of course, it's a little less funny today, when I've had 5 sick kiddos already because they were playing outside in the wet and cold yesterday.

Ah...school nursing. I remember those days. Did it for 3 years, and could never understand what some of those kids were thinking before they walked in my office.

I love my current jobs but boy do i ever miss school nursing! I worked in a boarding school for high school kids with mental health disorders, and those kids were damn creative in their excuses to come to my office.
