How I wish we could bottle up the magic of "the week before Christmas Break", or "Celebration Day", or "Staff vs. Student Basketball Game Day" and spread it through the air ducts daily, all year.
It seems kiddos are amazingly not sick on these days. It's a miracle actually.
Seriously, on the day of our staff/student basketball game-in which I was a cheerleader-I saw kids hit and slide across that gym floor and jump up and carry on like nothing happened. On a regular day they would've claimed their legs were broken and their eyeball was falling out. BUT NOT TODAY.
BUT- it appears that I may be having a promotion soon and no longer be seeing students on a day to day basis. I'm sure I will miss it to some extent.
Congratulations!!! Details please.
For fear of jinxing myself, I will wait until I have confirmation. I interviewed yesterday and my supervisors seems confident that I will be selected, but nothing is written in stone.
I also like to giggle when teachers return from a field trip and not one single Band-Aid was needed. Nobody ever seems to have nausea, invisible nosebleeds, unexplainable paralysis, sudden onset blindness/deafness while not on campus.
Between Far's craptastic and your paralysis and blindness I got a much needed laugh out loud today!!! Thanks for being my colleagues!
THIS is why it's not exactly a disappointment when my 1:1 student isn't at school...I get to be on AllNurses! Far, my word lately has been "Mt. Crapsuvious"
Specializes in School Nursing, Ambulatory Care, etc..
Yesterday I had to call the ambulance for a kid-to-kid collision on the playground ending in one of them having LOC and a facial lac and broken nose that has required two surgeries. Today, I saw 62 kids (26 scheduled med visits).
Whatever this "magic" is, I would only bottle it if I could then throw the bottle into the ocean so it goes far, far away!
3.5 work days/5.5 real days until Christmas break!

Not like that today for me... revolving door in my office right now.
