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.
I don't like when middle school runs "The Mile" for a grade. I told five kids yesterday that the reason they felt funny (tired, SOB, side cramp) after running the mile is because they overexerted themselves and maybe they should take up a sport to get some exercise. But they all looked at me confused "but...I don't feel good" c'mon! of course not, you need to exercise.
SchoolNurseTXstyle said:Mom wanted to take her baby to the ER for a 4 drop spontaneous nosebleed. C'MON NOW!! And we wonder why healthcare is in such a mess.
Ugh. Wouldn't it be nice if some of us didn't have to really, really weigh taking their kids to the ER because of how much we have to pay. Like my two year old who hit his head pretty good last Sunday. Took me a while to decide to take him in. Concussion.

This is probably the most eye opening thing as a school nurse. Makes me wonder how many of us have serious brain damage due to hits to the head in the Brontosaurus age.

The patient population we see at the pedi urgent care clinic I work pool at is 95% Medicaid. Nuff said.
C'mon Now...
Why do you want to have lice so bad????????
I have Little Darling that will want to get out of class for a head check.(She is a jr. with a history of lice when she was younger) I had informed her GM last month I was no longer going to check her hair due to never finding anything for the last year and a half. Student will not wash her hair for up to 5 days and that will make her Eczema/psoriasis flare up and be all flaky, then come in and want me to check. By this time her hair smelly, oily and just plum gross. She does this because it has gotten her sent home in the past or at least out of class for a few minutes.
Today she had the teacher call, come into the office twice and even called GM to tell her she had found 2 bugs. When I told her no to checking, she stormed out of my office and said something to the affect of "well, when I get it, it will be your fault."
After GM called me and informed me of LD phone call to her, I called for LD to come to the nurse out of the cafeteria. After I waited for her to come to my office, I went to the cafeteria, walked the lower halls and checked the down stairs restrooms and she was no where to be found.
I called GM and informed her the student was missing and I would not call her out of class to check. GM said "yeah, she is probably wanting to come home." (Ya think?)
I called the front office and said if student attempted to use the phone to send her to me. Well, guess what she comes into my office after the tardy bell rings. I inform her again that I will not check her hair and to go to class. I also said if you find another bug bring it to me. (Now I have to cover bases, because she will work the circuit (counselors, janitor, administrators, teachers, anyone who will listen) to try to get to my office.)

I was raised to not say "fart" because it was crude. My kids were raised to say "toots".
I just caught up with this thread . . . some funny stuff!
