Every year when the Christmas season comes, it gets CRAZY at school. Why is that? Does everyone have their mind on something else so they get hurt more easily? Parents get distracted so they're not paying attention to their kids? What is it??
I'm doing tons of lice checks all day, every day and finding bad cases of it since we got back from Thanksgiving. A teacher just randomly fell down the stairs yesterday and did some serious damage to her leg...we had to call paramedics. Her sons go to this school and her youngest (4th grade) went into some serious anxiety mid-day while we waited to hear from her. My OI kid broke his 36th bone yesterday morning (his 4th or 5th this semester). My 6th grader whose seizures had really calmed down over the past two years fired up a grand mal last week and is in tears every day now worried she'll have another one at school in front of her classmates. A 3rd grader got a serious concussion on the playground last Friday.
I'm thinking I'll go back to med-surg to get some rest.
This will hopefully all calm down after Christmas and we'll just hit steady flu season come January. Oh, boy.
I work with ODD children and kids on the specturm,this is a tough time for them at Christmas as a lot of the kids we have are in foster care,residential and broken homes.This time of year is the worst for staff,we cant wait for break.

I don't know. I'm a big weenie and I got tagged everyday by the big, redneck, bully kids in dodgeball. It was awful. I was the smallest kid in class every.single.year. I'm still the smallest kid from 2nd grade up and I'm 43!
Now our kids play Capture The Flag and that's where our worst injuries play out. HATE that game. I have no idea what happens in that game but nothing good happens, I know that.
My daughter loves Pickle Ball. When I googled it, I found tons of videos of very elderly people in Florida playing it. Hmmm.
I hated dodge ball as a kid. But I was awesome at it. Giant dork who could out smart the ball. The jocks were baffled.
Dodge ball is played at my high in the HS. Those kids are out for blood! Broken wrist, Moderate eye injuries, and a concussion. I love the spirit of it, but not aftermath...

This is one of those games I thought was fun, UNTIL I BECAME A SCHOOL NURSE, now it's just an injury waiting to happen. LOL! And don't even get me started on those little scooters they love to play on, the number of fingers that get run over is ridiculous!

Those scooters need to be banned! The kids here run them into the walls, head injuries! I had on kid when the gym had carpet that got carpet bun on his face forehead to chin when he fell of a scooter.
Here I get the most from Capture the Flag. I hate that game now!
I.HATE.CAPTURE.THE.FLAG!!!!!
In the last few weeks I have had a fractured arm, 2 concussions, a pair of broken glasses, a hip injury and just today a possible wrist fracture from that stupid game!!
I may call in sick the next time that play that ****!!!
Stop that! If "The Nurse" gets hurt where are the smiling Hall Monitors going to send your kids?
Actually, I have always wanted to "pass out" at my school and watch the freak out begin. We need the nurse immediately, OMG - that is the nurse - what do we doooooooooooo????????

Maybe we need to intern them with the 'public' lice offenders.
