Or face palm! I feel that on the regular!!!

I say both of these on facebook, too!

SPED teachers and aides just kill me, they are so needy and rude!!! I really wish I could print the info below and give them each their own sign.

1. Do not come in the clinic and just stand there listening to my conversation with a parent unless it is an emergency. Please wait politely on the other side of the door until I am done.

2. Do not assume that I automatically know the non-verbal student you are wanting me to call a parent on. A name is mighty helpful. Please have that info / knowledge when bringing said child to me.

3. Also, do not bring me the non-verbal child and tell me that someone else "wants them checked out" and have no clue as to what is going on with them. History is 90% of my assessment people and my crystal ball is broken.

4. Do not bring a student with you who does not need my services and allow them to rummage through all of my stuff because you need to tell me something about another student. Phone / e-mail works really well these days.

5. Yes, I will document on every tiny microscopic scratch you get on a kid but you need to write your own name, details, etc on the form. My part is documenting what I assess ONLY. And I really want to tell you that you could be documenting this yourself as it just gets thrown in a notebook that I could really care less about because you signed up to work with kids that scratch, bite, etc. Do you really think this poor autistic kid that has no other way of communicating is going to get kicked out of public school because he pinched you 4 times this year? Now, you got a real injury that actually needs medical attention - come see me then.

6. I know your job is tough and I really do give kudos to you!!! But, please be considerate!

So much this! I always hand them the incident report and tell them to fill it out and that I'll document my NURSING assessment.

You actually have a place on the incident/accident report that nurses can document? The only question r/t any part of my job on our form is name of person contacted and name of person contacting POC

I'm still laughing...

Just had a 7th grader come into my office. Asking for an alcohol wipe and large bandaid for scrape on knee. Another student also comes in, so give student both as I triage second student.

Suddenly I hear a hiss and a "that really hurts" and look up to explain about alcohol wipes and see student has bandaid on knee. Then student tells me that pull alcohol pad on under bandaid and then put bandaid on it.

Of course I ripped that bandaid off and explained, but this was a first for me with 7th graders. Student has good sense of humor and didn't mind that I couldn't hold in my laughter. Wound is super germ free now :).

My people always ask for alcohol. I'm like, "You get some super special soap here," as I hand them a container with dial soap and water mixed together. Haha

One of my Kinders hurt her leg yesterday on the playground about 30 minutes before dismissal. Large knot and bruise on her shin that had no changes after 20 minutes of icing it. Gait WNL. ROM WNL. No distress, student was very calm, but she did state that bearing weight was uncomfortable and that the area "kind of stings". Called mom (CYA) to let her know that she has a large knot and bruise on her leg and that if she seemed to still be complaining about it after school, that they might consider a visit to the doc. Mom was super understanding but asked if I could call the kiddo's dad (divorced couple) as she was about to sit down to a root canal. Hang up and deal with the other visitors in the office real quick and receive a phone call from the dad.

Y'all. This guy was super irritated about possibly, maybe having to take his daughter to get her leg checked out. It takes me FIFTEEN MINUTES of explaining that I was simply calling to give them a heads up about their 6 year old's leg. NOT demanding they rush her to the ED immediately. His response? "Well she can be very dramatic and I really don't think anything needs to be done, but if I don't come get her then I'm going to be chewed out!! Besides, its not like they can do anything for it anyways, since it's on her shin! They can't even wrap that!" Uh, what? 1, yes they can, especially if there is a legitimate injury and 2, whether or not you get chewed out by your ex is of absolute no concern to me. However, the large knot on your daughter's leg that was not improved with ice and was clearly visible from across the room, is.

The conversation ended with him stating that he was just going to come LOOK at her leg and if he felt it looked just fine, then she could just go to the after school program (because, by this time, school had dismissed) and wait there for her mom to come pick her up.

C'mon now.

So did he look at it? Did he take her home or leave her?

You know, I have no idea! He hadn't shown up by the time it was time for me to leave for the day, so we sent LD to the afterschool program. I called mom and let her know about the convo I had with dad and she said she wasn't surprised and that she would get her taken care of. According to the kiddo, mom took care of her leg by wrapping it up for her last night. So I'm thinking dad never showed ?‍♀️
