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.

Just had a kid come in with, "my chest hurts when I hiccup".:nurse:

This teacher has sent some stupid stuff before, but this takes the cake!

Got a phone call this morning from a teacher at another school. Her student said he was going to throw up and so she let the mom know. Mom says he often throws up on command to get out of class. Teacher doesn't want him in class vomiting and he refuses to move. She wanted to know if he could come over to my school and stay in my one cot office until he was willing to cooperate and do homework.

Not a c'mon moment but more of a cute moment.

I just had a bunch of 1st graders coming to me and gave me candy and a Halloween eraser as presents because "You are the bestest nurse ever!" and I got hugs. God I love these kids.

reminds me of years ago - i had a kinder student who must have been bound up to the point where he clogged the toilet then decided to quite literally take matters into his own hands to unclog it. :yuck: he was washed up from fingertips to shoulders and sent home for a shower. I remember telling his mom that he'd make a great handyman one day.

I laughed so hard at this I spit tea. The secretary's wondering what's wrong with me now.

Only if asked by admin, and only if there is a case reported in that grade.
