Let's all get together and write a book about school nursing.......better yet - how about we make it into a sitcom?

I had a 7th grader bite his girlfriend on the arm while they were in the library. Reason: they were re-enacting the Twilight movie. Skin intact, thank goodness!

Sounds like my two grandsons yesterday :rotfl:

Cale, the 2-year-old, had barely gotten out of his car seat here at the house before he was telling me about how his brother Elijah bit him in the butt while they were playing the other day. He even dropped his pants in the driveway and showed me the teeth marks! Silly kids!!:monkeydance:

Usually "something bit me" involves me sending them to their PMD cause at this age group, it's usually an abscess!

My complaint of the day was a first grade girl that complained of a scratchy throat. No temp, throat benign and very chatty. She admitted that she was eating grass on the playground at recess a few minutes prior! :lol2:

I have a few !

" I have a bead stuck up my nose" Thank goodness he was able to sneeze it out !

" I wet my pants" Fourth grade girl

" My head itches" did a Head check and sure enough there was lice !

" My teacher says I feel warm" t- 98.3

" I picked up a dead rabbits tail" He pulled it out in my office and I almost fainted !

I can go on and on and on :)

Me too!! How funny. " My grandma told me if I ever have a loose tooth I had to go home" This was a 3rd grader!! Tisk Tisk.

Tis the season for allergies! One little girl came in. "You gotta call my aunt. I am ABOUT to have an allergic reaction" When asked to what, she yelled "CATERPILLARS!!!" When asked her what happens when she comes into contact with them "My nose itches a little bit" . Have you touched any? "No, but I saw some at recess and my nose started itching." Go back to class. Please. Gotta love it :)

Oh. And there was the one "I am allergic to mayonnaise. I had to go to the hospital one time because it made me throw up". Called mom just in case to ask (was thinking maybe an egg allergy). Mom just laughed and laughed. Said child just doesn't like it. Even after all of that, child still insisted that I call her an ambulance "just incase".

3 second grade girls, all from the same class, all wet their pants at exactly the same time. Couldn't contact anyone to bring new clothes for any of them. All 3 went back to class with wet pants after I cought one in the bathroom splashing her crotch with water from the sink. Argh:madface: Was not in the mood to be used as an excuse to get out of class that day.
