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.

My morning has started with me actually saying "I promise, you cannot puke up brains. Promise."

This after a kid said his vomit was brain colored.

Oh, and I just counted...my school has completed 616 accident reports. (About 470 student school) And we haven't even had field day. :sarcastic:

C'mon now! There is a special filing cabinet in hell for accident reports.

We could all write a book!

OMG! What is your criteria for writing an accident report? I only do it if I am sending for further evaluation

Just about anything I call a parent for and of course if they are referred out. It is sometimes the little things that come back to bite ya! also depends on the parents...Takes two seconds but my adm like to be in the loop, and not blindsided by a telephone call later in the day week or year. Takes a minute, but has backed me up on several occasions over the years.

Do you other kinds of charting?

I document every visit (every bandage, maxi pad, or bump/bruise) and, as far as I know, for simple injuries my charting is enough of an account of what happened. I remember in nursing school one teacher stressing that if you did not chart something then it did not happen and if you did chart it, then it should hold up in court.

EVERY FREAKING SCRATCH. Not kidding. I've gotten to the point that I only fill out my section if I feel it may turn into a doctors visit. But admins have the teacher so scared they fill them out on everything (because they were told to).

And a little birdy told me that at the beginning of the year the staff was told that is how they justify keeping me...by how many accident reports we have.

I quickly corrected that! I chart every thing that comes in my door. In my opinion accident reports should only be done if its something like a sprain, head injury, stitch worthy, etc.

GAH! I could go on for days on how ridiculous I think this is. But I wont.

If I have taken you out to your dad's car 4 times in 2 years for the worse musculoskeletal pain you have ever had in your life and then saw you running in the halls the very next day then YES, I FIND IT HARD TO TAKE YOU SERIOUSLY!!! Especially when you are dragging your leg behind you like a lame farm animal. And don't try to be a martyr and say "I will just go back to class dragging my leg behind me" because I know you will not get 10 feet out the door until some fool that falls for your drama will bring you right back in here. C'MON NOW!!!
