What do you normally do? It's my first and I'm kinda nervous and excited at the same time to meet the parents. I hope they are all pleasant and not nasty

When I was a teacher the first thing I would say is--

"If you don't believe everything your kid says about me, I won't believe everything they say about you."

Always got laughs and broke the ice

Wish me good luck! tonights the night.

Specializes in Pediatrics, school nursing.

I'm in a high school, but we have a schedule pick-up night before school starts. This year, I had our principal include on the robo call that he sends out information that I would be available to collect any doctor's orders, and parents were welcome to check in medication. I set up a table in the hall outside the clinic (so I wouldn't get trapped with a parent), and we had lots of parents check in medications and turn in asthma or severe allergy action plans. I put everything in a box, locked it in my office, and entered it all the next morning.

It's usually quiet in my office that night. I actually use it to catch up on some paperwork-no kiddos interrupting.
