C'mon now!

Every-freakin-day! Poked in the eye? It's pink eye! Hand sanitizer in the eye? Pink eye! Broken blood vessel? Pink eye! Known seasonal allergies? You guessed it, pink eye!

A teacher sent me one with wind chapped cheeks from being at recess, this was at 2:40 on Friday. Our buses run at 2:45. I put some ointment on her cheeks and walked her back to class to ask the teacher if there was something else going on. She said "Look at her face!" I said yeah its cold and the wind is blowing. She said "You don't think its you know scrabies do you?" I said definitely not and walked out of the room. C'mon Now!

I get high school kids all the time - goes like this:

HS kid: Stands in front of my desk with this "I hate my life" kind of look and states " my teacher made me come down here because she says my eye is red".

Me: *looking* which eye?

HS kid: I don't know?

Me: Does either eye itch? Hurt? Have crust in the when you woke up?

HS kid: No

Me: I think you'll live.

HS: I told the teacher that.....*walks out*

I usually offer them a treat from my jar for their trip. It's a long walk to my office from HS, LOL.

I have my glasses on today because my allergies flared up and I had two teachers ask me already if *I* had pink eye.

I reallly wanted to tell them that "yup I have it, so only send me emergencies today because we don't want it to spread"

Student walks in from outdoor recess and hands me her broken pink METAL zipper from her jacket. Sorry kid. Please tell your teaching assistant that I neglected to bring my welding equipment to work today

Ahh, yes. The broken zipper. I believe there was a specific section on the NCLEX pertaining to this.

:nailbiting: Oh, my!!!! I had a "scrabies" scare last week. Had Little Darling come in asking about scabies and then 15 min here her friend comes in because she was exposed too. Gotta love hysteria.

I believe it was somewhere between shoe cobbling and surgical removal of dog poo...

This is so funny because so far this week I've had a kid want "something" to remove mud of his shoes, had gum in hair, three requests for belts and two for deodorant...
