Cute things students say.

Published

I was walking kinder students to the clinic for hearing re-checks. The cutest little girl asks me if I am a doctor or a nurse. After I tell her I am a nurse, she tells me her Mom is studying to be a nurse. I tell her that is great, but I bet as a Mommy she does a great job taking care you when you are sick. She says "nah" she"ll know better what to do when she becomes a nurse.

Specializes in Hospice.
My heart is broken. I just had a little 2nd grader tell me he knew about Santa. he was said.

"It all started with me askin about the tooth fairy. She told me the truth so I asked about santa....Now I wish I had never asked." :no:

Aaww, that is truly sad.

Forget about whether we as parents cause more lasting damage if we lie to them or if we tell them the truth (we're always wrong no matter WHAT we do according to the Facebook experts), a little bit of the light in their eyes fades when they figure it out.

2nd grade boy runs in out of breath "I swallowed a bug and I can feel it crawling on my rib bones"

Me: "That's anatomically impossible, buddy. Things that you swallow don't float around inside your ribs."

Him: "What should I do?"

Me: "Stop eating bugs at recess!?"

My 7 year old daughter accidentally drank a sip of beer at a block party last year. She grabbed it from a cooler, thinking it was soda since I told her she could have one and a neighbor opened it for her without looking at it. She can be super dramatic and told me she thought she might be drunk. And then told pretty much everyone within a 100 mile radius.

But they were drunk so didn't care?

I did that in nursing school once. Thought it was a Diet Coke. Opened it up Pre Conference and took a sip. Good morning, Coors Light!

Everyone laughed and the guy who opened it and handed it back to her kept apologizing. I wasn't angry.

That's too funny on the Coors Light! That'll get ya ready for clinicals!

Specializes in School Nurse.

A little boy came to the clinic before the holidays and said he had pooped in his pants. Me trying to figure out how much he had pooped to know if just giving him a clean pair of undies would be ok, I asked did you poop a little or a lot. He replied "just a little, it's not squishy or anything." :D :D :D
