C'Mon Now!

The other day had a meeting with a parent because a diabetic student said sometimes for breakfast he gets peanut butter sandwich crackers for breakfast. Mom said yes she has done that a few times and the dietitian said it is okay. It was a back and forth argument of what real breakfast actually is. C'MON

Sitting at my desk, trying to choke down a sandwich quickly. Two beds in my clinic...Two Little Snowflakes laying down and staring at me as I chew. Staring intently. Won't look at anything but me. Bite by bite, sip by sip......all eyes on me !! Oyyyy !!! :eek: :eek:

While in a meeting today I was asked to see a student for a laceration. So I am gloved up and dealing with her wound and there is a kid outside the door knocking to come in. Ignored. Then I happened to look up and he had his arms folded across his chest like he was doing ME a favor by waiting, NOT so patiently, and staring at me.

When I was done, I went and opened the door. I kinda sorta lost my filter and was pretty clear that I did not appreciate his body language. His reply was "I just wanted a tylenol!"

I just stopped and gave him the death stare, I was afraid that anything I said could have been used against me in a court of law!!!

Just had to e-mail my 3rd grade teachers to say: Please don't send an injured child to my office accompanied by the child who caused the non-accidental injury! You'd think would be a given...C'Mon Now!

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.

No I don't wear them in school. I was just responding to the t-shirt slogan saying flip flops are only for the pool!

C'mon!

I think they do this so that you can handle both the injury and the behavioral consequences. Because you know you were there and saw exactly what happened!

I have a 3rd grade student in my office for almost an hour now. Her shorts are really short. I gave her a skirt to throw over her shorts and she threw a tantrum. Today is game truck day which has nintendo games and is an end of the year treat. I called up parents and no one answered. I gave her more options to wear and she threw another fit because she didn't want to wear anything and wanted to go home. She said that this boy is gonna laugh at her but from what teacher tells me it sounds like her and her mom are a piece of work. I informed the student that she would have to wait in my office for clothes and miss out on game truck if she refused all the clothing option. Finally mom called back mad because apparently this student always wore these pants and would bring her clothes. Student threw another tantrum because she missed out on game truck. C'MON

I am not a walk in clinic! Do not wait for me outside my door because you act like I am a walk in clinic. And you most assuredly do not get to "do your hair" because you ran out of time this morning after treating my clinic like you own the place! C'MON NOW!

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!

See, I am the yearbook adviser AND the nurse at my school, so I am the ONLY person that knows about yearbook deadlines .

I forgot to purchase my son's yearbook . . . even though I'm not a fan of having yearbooks from K-8.

I have no idea if there are any yearbooks for Spidey - who promotes from 8th grade tonight.

Even when I was working as a school nurse, I had NO idea about yearbooks. :facepalm:

Check with the school, sometimes they'll order extras just for a situation like this.

Hope you can find one!!
