Yea, but BostonFNP is there, throwing down. And BC Grad Nurse. And Horseshoe. And elkpark. And macawake.
And a whole bunch of other nurses waaaaaaay smarter than me.

In my community health class when we started going over vaccines one of my holistic medicines classmates tried to start, "well vaccines do a lot of harm" and our professor gave her the "are you f-ing kidding me look" and she just stopped. (although her sister was the one in a million that contracted polio through the vaccine)

My latest conversation:

Student: I've had this thing on my cheek for as long as I remember

Me: Ok and you decided that today, march 31, 2016 was the day to see me about it? Are your parents aware of it?

Student: Yes, they've taken me yo the doctor. He doesn't know what it is.

Me: ... (*giving student "That look")

Student: You don't know what it is either

Me: Exactly - now can I diagnose you. If it's still troubling you, I suggest you follow up with a parent and maybe see another doctor.

C'mon now!!

Shades of Sully's first post:

Boy comes in, stands over the Secretary's desk and yanks out his molar. Proceeds to me like Gollum, holding the bloody tooth in his hands, blood gushing form his mouth.

I walk him to the sink and run the water, and tell him to spit and rinse until clear. Boy proceeds to spit blood all over the counter, the faucet, and the floor, everywhere but the sink.

He gets the hang of rinsing until clear, and cannot find the garbage, which is right in front of him.

Tries to hand me the tooth, despite me holding a little open baggie for him to deposit it.

The kid is still bleeding, telling me that the tooth "wasn't ready"...ya think?

He rinses again, spitting everywhere.

Crisis over. No transfusion needed. I don't think.

I have to remind him to wash his hands. Twice.

Stands over the Secretary's desk and blows his nose, loudly, grossing out the girl in back of him who needed a pad. Pockets snotty tissue, bumps into girl as he turns around, and leaves, destruction in his wake.

I call his mother who says, with a warm chuckle, "WELL, the TOOTH FAIRY will have to pay him a NICE BIG VISIT tonight!"

(Kid is 14)

Secretary and I are dying. She says the funniest part was hearing him (from the other room) spit and gag and me saying, deadpan, "Try and spit into the sink. The sink. The SINK.'

C'MON NOW!!!

So this morning a KG teacher walks one of her kids down. The kid is obviously having some type of allergic reaction. Nothing life threatening. His teacher is convinced he has chicken pox and, of course, the child is listening to her. I assure her he doesn't have chicken pox but, of course, she's gonna obsess about it but finally leaves. I called the kid's mom to come pick him up for further evaluation, etc. While he was waiting here in the clinic, he said in a very manner of fact way, "My dog ate the neighbor's chicken and he licks me a lot so I guess he gave me chicken pox."

AWWWW C'Mon Now!!

"I bent my ankle and now it hurts really bad." But watch me walk around, and show you how I bent it, and go up and down stairs with no problems, and put pressure on it with no issues.

C'mon now!

Do you just happen to have an extra ACE Wrap that you can apply to the affected limb? :sarcastic:

Kid: Nothing.

Nothing. This is the conversation I have at least 10 times a day. It seems perfectly normal.

I did it y'all. After yesterday's episode of the teacher calling and telling me to call home on a one-and-done puker, who admitted he ate too much!- I spoke with the admin on my roll as THE NURSE.

She was very much supportive. She said her goal is to keep ***** in classes just as much as mine is, and had no idea they were sending ridiculous stuff to me like pimple popping. I just wanted her support if I get any push-back from the teachers after sending their little darlings back to class for their imaginary complaints. :)

First the ice pack and now this...my hospital balls are slowly descending. (I just realized how much I hate the word balls in reference to testicles. Add that to "Words I Hate".)

I had a PE hater today. She is constantly "spraining" this or that. She was wearing a wrist brace with the metal splint and came to me whimpering. accompanied by a friend, stating a door hit her "bad" wrist. After knocking on the steel bar a few times I told her the door really couldn't have hurt her as she effectively has body armor on. I took off the brace, and amazingly, there was no redness. Had to do the obligatory ice pack to please mom.
