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.

Guys... guys... I had a teacher yesterday ask me for a pregnancy test.

I just looked at her like, what? No! Why would I have one? She said:

"I thought that you would because you know how kids are nowadays in middle school and high school."

omg... I was so ready to just start to go on a tangent and I just told her no and go to a pharmacy near us.

She said I should carry one. *****!?!?!?!?!?

I carry them working at a HS.

BUT NOT for STAFF. NOPE, NOPE, NOPE.

Tell her "i haven't needed to. They seem to understand that if they're old enough for sex, they are old enough to be responsible to buy a test.

And then stare at her pointedly...

Right? I mean I'm MS and ES, so there's no reason for me to have them and my head nurse never mentioned it to me. So I'm like, WTH.

it drives me a bit crazy when the staff gets annoyed because I don't have something they want (like the afore mentioned pregnancy test). My budget is for products for the students. Sure, I don't care if you need a pad or an advil on occasion, but i'd also like to point out that this isn't Walmart and that there is a lovely little pharmacy 2 blocks away owned by the sweetest people in town. If you're going, i'll give you money to get me a milkshake (they have ice cream!!)

Pregnancy tests are even available at the dollar store! Health Office is not a convenience store.

I enjoy the "someone asked me for..." posts. I group this one with the request for balloons.

I even said that to her. Like legit, the dollar store is across the street from us!

I know!!! I usually point out to them that my budget is $400 / year for 750 students and by the time I buy band-aids, probe covers, and maxi -pads - I have very little left. A lot of them are shocked to hear that I don't have unlimited funds.

That's... super low. I get like $1,500 or more, depending how much does the clinic need. I would ask for more because you will need to fill the clinic up a lot!

IN the olden days, a pharmacy had a "bar" in it, complete with stools, and served shakes, floats, ice cream, sodas, candy, and the likes of such things...some even served food. Our pharmacy, when I was growing up, served the best chili I've ever tasted. It might have been out of a Wolf Brand can but it was sure good.
