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.

15 minutes before dismissal: My sandals are hurting my feet.

Me: "Okay, don't wear those ones tomorrow"

3rd grade girl: "My teacher said you could do something about it."

Me: "I did. I advised you not to wear them tomorrow. I cannot fix your shoes."

My new mantra:

Flip flops are for pools not for schools!

Had a parent ask me when the deadline for yearbook orders was. Before I could answer, another parent chimed in and said "Don't ask her that. She won't know. She's just the nurse." C'MON NOW! :mad:

Last day of school today:

Early release with dismissal at 11:20 a.m. I am rushing around trying to find 8th grade parents still on campus after their little darlings graduated this morning. Even though I send notices in the newsletters and post signs all over campus to please see the nurse to pick up meds or they will be discarded, you know parents don't do it. Second grader sees me and comes up to me at exactly 11:11 am:

Student: "I was just coming to see you, I have a stomachache."

Me: "Baby doll, you are getting in your mother's car in exactly 9 minutes and it is the last day of school! No, you are not coming to my office. Go back to class."

What teacher would send this student?!!! C'mon now!

I swear that the education courses constantly drill no puke in the classroom more than the 3 "R"s.

At least the staple kid was a student. Screwdriver Lady was an adult who made a choice to ask a school nurse to look at it instead of the ER

If she's in an abusive environment, she may have wanted to avoid the ER because they ask all kinds of embarrassing questions.

Especially if she has a history of "unfortunate accidents".

That's sad. Have to admit though, I did laugh and give the story a gold star. Yeah, I'm goin' to Hell.

I love my flip flops! I live in them during warmer weather. And I never go to a pool!

What about me??:bored:

Do you wear them in school? And, if you get a foot injury, no one else is going to have to deal with your dirty, smelly feet, not that yours are, just my students.
