I had a kid on Friday come to me because she forgot to put on her bra that morning!!! The C'MON NOW is she really had nothing to fill a bra in the first place.........

THIS. IS. GREAT! Why is no bra your problem?

I was one of those in the IBTC, still am really. And that's probably why she didn't realize she hadn't put on her bra. Put a sweatshirt on.

I had a girl come a few weeks ago becuase her bra was too small and it was hurting her. Luckily I was able to help adjust the straps without her removing her shirt.

Bra too small, dog poop on your shoe, yogurt spilled on your shirt at lunch #goseethenurse :banghead:

My favorites are the ones who slide an inhaler in a kid's backpack because "They might need it at school"

No paperwork

No label

Never talked to the nurse

Oh - and the inhaler has been expired for 2 years...Actually the winner was one that had been expired for 4 years

Really!?

I had a rather FF walk in today, very casual-like. She has legit medical issues but is doing well this year. She very confidently told me she has a disease called miscellaneous, like all over her body. I waited for her to finish her sentence but that was her supposed disease. Miscellaneous. C'mon Now!!

She showed me the spot on her stomach that was bothering her the most, and I'm no derm but it looked like molluscum contagiosum. So I covered it with a band aid because it looked like her pants were bothering it. I called her mom (who is a nurse) and we laughed and laughed.

SO yeah, miscellaneous. The struggle is real.

One of my second graders that sees me for daily meds was telling me how they tonight are leaving for 2 weeks to go to Jamaica. Over the summer they went to Greece and in the spring they were on a two week cruise around mexico.

And this parent ALWAYS gives me a hard time about needing an extra inhaler and bringing in his meds when I run out because it's "too expensive"

C'mon now!!

This feels like it should be in this thread.

My kiddos get dropped off in a Lexus and then come to the clinic for a bandaid because "we don't have bandaids at home" :cautious:

I am guilty of this (not the lexus part). I never have bandaids! And I'm a nurse! I had some but my daughter decorated her legs with them and I never bought new ones. Then my older daughter fell off her bike on the way to school and I ended up driving her to the school and asking the nurse if I could patch her up in her health office (I work for the same district and know the nurse well).

I STILL have not bought bandaids...

I had one earlier today. HE had both ears pierced yesterday and they are a little sore.

These kids really need to learn the difference between discomfort and pain!!!
