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.

Specializes in School Nurse.

My students have mental telepathy. I can just think I haven't seen a student in a while...and poof... there they are showing up in the clinic.

Sweet Steven Segal! I am glad to see that happens to all of us! The "Oh yeah!" illness, as I call it. This can also be triggered simply by walking past my office on the way to or from the fountain or bathroom. (The gravitational pull of my office is THAT strong)

This is why I try to avoid eye contact, but even then they come in and I'm like, Why didn't you tell me when I saw you earlier? They have no response for that.

The kids are doing roller skating in gym. I've given out approximately 45863 ice packs. I'm done.

I had hockey lately, I told them to suck it up and it's normal their hands to hurt because they were whacking themselves with the sticks, which I saw them when I was passing by.

This is what made my husband change his position on medicating my son. The physician flat out said, we can put a fidget band on his chair, make all the checklists, and do therapy, but he will still have trouble. As he gets older we are hoping he is able to do well without medication (choosing a career that allows him to operate in his own neurodiverse way) or that getting medication as an adult becomes simpler.

I will be honest, don't do this. As an adult with ADHD-I and was suppose to be medicated as a child and never way, I wish I was. I got medicated as an adult and I'm doing better. I wish I had this done earlier, and my school and social life would've been better as a kid.

If you can help him now, he would be more thankful later.

Pet peeve: When someone, teachers, parents, etc. ask if something is "going around". Umm... We have 500 students, something is ALWAYS going around.

I always laugh and say, "kids are like walking petri dishes, we always have something going around"

Or when the secretary tells parents, we have " strep going around" When she hears about 1 case!! Lets get everyone worried!!!!! UGH

I feel bad, but there are some kids that I cant even make eye contact with in the hallway or sure as everything they will end up in my office within minutes. Its like as soon as they see me "Oh yeah, I haven't been to her office for XYZ in a day or two, better go or I might not survive" I'm getting so bad that I don't even mention certain students names out loud, or they will certainly show up!!!

Is it a gravitational pull to the nurse's office or a gravitational push away from class????? Inquiring minds need to know.

We were out two days last week because of the cold and now it's in the 60's. I just hate the imaginary injuries that come with recess.

I can almost count down to the minute specific students will come in after they see me walk by their room or in the hall... Suddenly, a phantom boot has hit them in the head, or they need vaseline for their lips at 2:55p...

This is my ENTIRE second grade class. I literally hide from them because if I don't, they will bug their teacher incessantly until she sends them to me! Poor girl, she's always apologizing to me for her class! God love her because she certainly tries to keep them at bay ?
