I was sent a photo of a teacher's very swollen knee. She was on the class ski trip and fell. She was in the ER but didn't trust the doctors. "BiscuitRN, what do you think it is?" Had to put my x-ray goggles on.

:bugeyes: IS this your selfie?

T1's pod fell off. I put on a new one, put the other in my sharps container. 30 seconds later the one in the sharps starts alarming. If you've never heard this alarm, it is the most high pitched obnoxious alarm, AND IT'S STUCK IN MY SHARPS BOX!!!!!!

Everyone walking past my office "What's that annoying sound?" Um, you hear it for 5 seconds, move on. Quit complaining. *Beings to twitch from noise*

There aren't may things in my sharps, almost a brand new container. Just a couple of empty humalog vials, capped syringes from filling the pods, capped needles from before they had pumps, strips. AND FOUR PODS. So I finagled the pods out. One. By. One. And wouldn't you know it was the very last one out. Lord. Then I couldn't figure out how to shut it up. I knew there was a hole you had to poke (giggle) so I paper clipped every hole I could find. *Still twitching)

Finally I just call mom to figure out how to shut it up. Apparently there was a green button to poke.

Side note: At no point did I put my hand in the container. But it is surprisingly easy to get stuff out by tipping it upside down. Not a good thing.

Been there! (Well, the alarm, not the sharps container) Mom had NO CLUE how to silence it. "I tried running it over with the car. It never stops" (C'mon now...)

So I researched and found the hole and a paperclip. So there's a button now??

This one had a small green button that is barely down in a hole. One of the other nurses has a daughter that is a T1D, she said "Sometimes I take a hammer to it." lol, but she did tell me that if they malfunction you can usually send them back and they will reimburse. So I bagged it up and sent it home.

Cute little kinder kid comes in, spilled milk on his pants.

Me: How did you spill milk on your pants?

Kinder: How do I spell milk? M-I-L

Me: No! No! I mean how did you SPILL it?

K: M-I-L

Me: I mean how did you get wet with milk?

K: OH! It fell! *Smiles cutely*

Me: *MY HEART!* SO MUCH CUTENESS!

Yeah,that's how I had a student take a syringe out, he just probably tipped it and fiddled weith the lever thing. Mine is now locked in a wall cabinet (and I don't think I have a key).

I came in this morning to the custodian mopping my floor. This is not a common occurrence, my floors never get swept or mopped. Yuck. That's a c'mon now in itself.

Anywho, apparently there was a phantom puker. There had been a trail of puke from mid office all the way into my office and into my bathroom. No one knew who it was, kid hasn't come back... Happy Monday. I REALLY wanted a snow day.

Fresh off of the school bus, 4th grade FF: My ankle got hurt because my brother kicked me really hard!

Me: "Which brother?" He has one in 8th grade and a 18month old

Him: "My little brother"

Me: He's 1, you're 9; I think you'll survive. Please go to class.

Him: "But it's been hurting REALLY bad since Saturday and my dad just keeps saying "suck it up"

Me: I agree with dad, off to class with you

Talking to 1st and 2nd graders about Dental Health. I had explained about Fluoride and why tap water is better than bottled water. I asked near the end of the lesson.

Me: What is in tap water and toothpaste that help our teeth to be healthy?

1st Grader: Hmmmm....the F Word....Hmmmm....what is it?

Me (very quickly): Fluoride :) :whistling: (C'MON now)

LOL! I can just see little darling telling mommy that the nurse told them the F Word today!

"I think that you should listen to what they say at the ER."
