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.
Right? I chalked it up to ignorance. But there are a lot of people out there who think ADHD and putting your child on medication to treat ADHD really just means you are a lazy parent who can't be bothered to discipline your child.But holy cow, do I notice a difference in my child and the way she acts and processes information if we we miss a dose of medication for whatever reason.
So much of my previous assumptions about ADHD changed when I started working as a school nurse. All for the better.
Other version, different school, kid's got a 101 temp, none of the contact numbers work, I tell the school secretary and she messages them on Facebook, (!) THEN they call me back. I thought keeping a cell phone alive was adulting 101, never mind parenting school children 102.
I have parents that will only respond via Facebook messaging, kinda drives me crazy.
Sad C'mon now.
I have a student in my office who has a flu like symptoms who's been with me for 3 hours now. He burst into tears a minute ago saying "they aren't going to come for me".
Last year they did the same thing to him where I ended up having to send him home on the bus because despite his parents saying for 2 hours they were coming, before they stopped answering my calls and never showed.
I didn't know what to tell him so I just hugged him. I don't even care if I get sick from this.
C'mon now parents, just tell me if you can't come.

Awful. Kids need to be able to depend on their parents and it sounds like this student is coming to learn that he can't. Sigh.
The walls that divide our main office into individual offices are paper thin. One of my office mates makes EVERY. SINGLE. PHONE. CALL on speaker phone. You can imagine the AWESOME time the rest of us have all day....
So far this semester I've heard some very "colorful" language from her husband, a discussion about refinancing their car, a comment exclaiming "my boobs are HUGE!!!", complaints about a class party and the money they are having to spend on it for their child, and discussions about various students. Just to name a few.
I'm officially over it.

You should have a very loud conversation about your annoying co-worker, maybe she'll take a hint!

Hahaha, I like how you think Becky! But she probably wouldn't be able to hear me over her speaker phone...I mean. It's not like they make this handy little device she can connect to her phone where only she can hear the conversations....

I swear we have a sub that must go around the class first thing and ask each student if they need to see the nurse. We have one 1st grade teacher that does the same. Cause I see half her class everyday!
