Had a kid bring his wet, bloody tooth and plop it right on my desk.

C'mon now!

Or the kid that did running knee slide into my office.

C'mon now!

The ones old enough to cover their mouths but choose to cough right in your face instead.

All together: C'mon now!!

Some things just make me shake my head.

HA! Great minds think alike!

Every Halloween I get to ruin at least one preschooler's day by sending them home sick. I try to make them feel better with coloring pages and Disney music while we wait for mom or dad, but I'm still the enemy of Halloween.

I was thinking to do this just to be a butt, but then I said nah, I need these gloves more than a gag.

Benchmark testing for the entire school. Kids being sent to the clinic to change INTACT band-aids for non-existent injuries when all classrooms have their own stock. Really????

Student came in not feeling well. Called parent - parent asked if I could make student some hot tea with lemon and honey "that always makes her feel better" - when I said no we couldn't do that and didn't have that type of stuff available for student use - then was asked "don't you have it in your teachers lounge? I give you permission to give it to my child?" nope again and I responded that she was welcome to fix a bottle of hot tea to send to school with her child.......

I had a parent complain to the principal one year because I did not give her daughter a piece of bread after she accidentally swallowed her peppermint. Did not really get a chance to do anything as mom almost beat student to the clinic as kid had been texting her from class.

Had a gaggle of girls come in because one of their own had her first period, and they had SOOO many questions and were freaking out about stuff. One of them asked me if they can't do anything if they are on their period. I just looked at her that you can do anything you want, like before and they cheered.

God I love these kids. I'm going to ask if I can help out with the Puberty talk for the girls, because these babies need it.

Have a kid with asthma, has an inhaler at home but mom refuses to bring it in. So I call her every time he comes up. Her solution: Give him a piece of ice. He just got too hot. C'mon now.

Had a conversation with an athlete who was feeling like "a$$" to quote. During the convo, shared that s/he had vomited like 7 times earlier during a game that week...

So my response was "Say What??" and proceeded to TRY and a engage the athlete in a conversation about sharing germs, my concerns as a nurse as to why I would like to prevent the spread of a virus to a whole team and that no one on a team is irreplacable. I said "You, and I'm saying the collective you as in althletes, not you personally" need to get that we are here to protect you from your own decisions.. Let's see if I hear form the parent today...

:eek::eek::eek:

What if ice really is a cure all and we just don't know it yet? Like. What if we're sitting on a gold mine of treatments and we just haven't connected the dots? Asthma? ICE! Sprained ankle? ICE! End stage renal disease r/t poor diabetes control? ICE! (but don't drink it when it melts because fluid restrictions).

J/k. Jimbo needs his inhaler, Carol. You know. To breathe and such. :rolleyes:
