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.

Guys, I got emergency called out of my health class for a student having an allergic reaction....

...to pollen. Teacher and admin heard allergic reaction, told me allergic reaction and I'm running with Epi.

Clearly I need to improve on my education re: allergic reactions to students and staff.

i just helped a student wash a huge gob a home made slime out of her hair. Thank god it was apparently made with a base of laundry soap so it came out fairly easily - because thing didn't look like they were going to go so well in the beginning. But really - throwing slime? C'mon now!!

No, I'm not sending you home because you have a little sunburn on your shoulders. You've had lotion. AND Tylenol. And no, its not even blistered. Its barely red. Stop being a snowflake and go to class. Next time wear sunscreen. *no pity*

Over the walkie

"Nurse Wine, I'm sending a second grader down who has a bunch of lice in her hair"

Student has dandruff, no sign of lice.

But now I have a line of 2nd grade students with notes that have "itchy head, please check for lice" on them

C'mon now!

Privacy's out the window - and now that the whole danged school has heard the word lice you might just as well set up shop in the hallway and check everyone...

For what it's worth, licebusters gets like 250 per hour... Who wants to go into business and open a franchise with me - we'll be rich, I tells ya filthy stinking rich!!

I'm with you Flare. I don't know of any lice salons in my area and I am just itching to set up shop!

Sorry for my dorky pun.

I mentioned this in another thread...

But during a a 30 student per hour recess, as I was tending to a student who I had just wheelchaired into the health office with a red knee cap, I hear a bunch of ruckus on the walkie--one recess supervisor telling the head supervisor in another language (that I luckily speak) that there was an emergency at the park. I hear a lot of yelling. So I pick it up and ask, "this is the nurse, should I come to the playground?" and amongst a lot of other ruckus (I hear in the other language, "he fell off the park") I hear a request to yes, come to the playground. "Which door?" They tell me the name of the playground instead, which I quickly confirm with a lunch aide to be the playground by the cafeteria, so I help the first student out of the wheelchair and then basically run down the hallway. One of our principals joined me (for the first time. because the yelling was so panicked. I now hear in the other language that the student was getting up but still couldn't breathe) but when we emerged from the doors we saw no situation and one of the recess supers told us to go around the school the other playground. (The one closer to the health office. :mad:) So we take off again. I get there and all the students are lined up, including the student in question at the end of the line.

Long end of the story short, he fell and the wind got knocked out of him. He was so upset by the attention and the yelling that he wouldn't even make eye contact with me and just barely let me listen to his lungs and ask him a few questions before I let him storm off to lunch. The scariest thing was, this wasn't even a true emergency but a scary eye-opener to how messy an actual emergency would have been. They call me outside every day and I don't know how this was so mishandled. Apparently the student was asking the supervisor to stop talking. The adult should have been the calmest person in the situation.

I feel for her because she must have been terrified but c'mon now :drowning:
