Yup.

"I think we should cut it off."

"Ugh...You're killing me, smalls!"

"FLUSH THE TOILET!"

I don't think these are the things you were looking for, but ya know...

Common phrases:

"you're fine"

"drink some water and go back to class"

"does your teacher know you are here"?

[NurseBeans, BSN, MSN, RN]

"how long have you had a headache?"

"did you tell a parent about ________?"

"why don't you rest a few minutes and see how you feel?"

In notes I use the words headache, stomachache, deformity, bruising, swelling, ice pack, and "ambulatory without limp" quite a bit. Also "student rests, reports relief, is returned to class" gets thrown around a lot in here.
