I'm lucky to have complete support of our administration. This year, students are not allowed any field trips or extra-curricular activities if they haven't turned in their card! It's amazing how many managed to get it in when they weren't permitted to attend a dance, or participate in soccer, football, etc. Best return we've ever had!

Great strategy!!

My district started first day exclusion this year and schedules were not given to a student unless their physical was turned in. Unfortunately, this was not communicated very well to families and there were A LOT of upset parents/students. Next year should go more smoothly.

I just dismissed a girl in K with a textbook scarletiniform rash on her face and upper body, fever, sore throat. Told dad when he arrived that he needed to take her to the doctor to have a throat swab and be sure to bring a note to return to school so we know she has been treated if +strep. Dad proceeds to lecture me, telling me "strep throat is an internal infection of the body and does not cause a rash. This is clearly caused by something she ate or drank, like the water you give them here at school". Um, ok Dr. Butthole :banghead:

Female Student: *hunched over in pain* "I need pain meds"

Me: *slightly taken back* "Sorry kiddo, we don't do that here. What's going on?

FS: "I have really really bad cramps" *literally shivers from pain*

Me: "oh no, that sounds uncomfortable. I can't give you any medicine for the cramps but I can give you a heating pad and let you call home"

FS: *shivers again from pain* "umm. ok I guess I'll take the heating pad."

Me: "and you don't want to call home?"

FS: "No." *leaves office*

****student comes back 30 minutes later****

FS: *shudders from pain* "Here's your heating pad back. My teacher suggested I call home. Can I borrow the phone?"

Me: :up: "Well, that sounds like a good idea Mr. ****** had. The phone is over there...don't forget to dial 9 to get out...."

Me. A, FEMALE NURSE, suggests calling home for some clearly severe cramps and you say no. But your MALE TEACHER suggests it and its be the best idea you've heard all day. C'MON NOW!!!!

My favorite subject...waaaaaait for it :woot:

H.S. student: (comes in office, looking/acting/walking half-dead.) Tells me how bad head/sinuses feel...goes...on...and...on...and

Me: Sorry bud, I don't have any medicine here for you (we don't stock medicine, it must be sent from home)

H.S. student: :scrying:

Me: Sorry, none has been sent from home.

H.S. student: Well, do you have any "OILS" that you can give me to use?

Me: Ummmm No. :blink: We can't use them at school because they aren't FDA approved.

H.S student: WELLLLL, THE OILS THAT WE USE ARE 100% THERAPEUTIC GRADE !!

Me: :nurse: :no: :blink: (back to class)

GdBSN, RN · Dec 7, 2016

Male student comes in the clinic asking if I have a pair of clippers.

Me: What's wrong, are you hurt.

Student: No, my nails are so long it's hard for me to hold my pen.

Me: Nope, this is not a nail salon, back to class. :nurse:

240 pm (School Lets out at 325)-

Little Darling: I need to talk to you.

Me: Come on in.

Little Darling: (shuts the door before talking, so it can be a private chat) I need some new pants.

ME: Why?

Little Darling: These are to tight and are cutting into me. It's been doing it all day.

ME: Well, I have something to fix that. (I get a rubber band and show how to fix it)

Little Darling walks away disappointed because I did not call Grandmother.

C'mon Now!

Just had a kid bring in some OTC liquid allergy medication. Had all the paperwork filled out, so I was pretty happy. Until I checked the bottle out. Expired in 9/2010!
