dumb staff

[lvnforschool]

Im sorry, but I had a really dumb lady in my office yesterday. She showed up in my office about 10 minutes before she was scheduled to do lunch duty. Ive never met her before, but she asked me if I could "clear" her to work because she thought she had pink eye. First, your an adult, so you are the only one who needs to CLEAR" anything. Second I told her I am sorry but I cannot diagnose you. I have a poster in my office with an nurse on-call 24/7 number I referred her to. Well here's where things get STUPID! She calls the number I gave, and it's not an advice Nurse, it's for worker comp. (Oops)! So right then and there she should of said Nevermind sorry and HUNG UP! Guess what she did? Yes, she freaking tried to make a worker comp claim for PINK EYE!!! OMG! So I get a call from HR asking why I gave her that number. Okay so this might be like 5% my fault, but seriously use your common sense people.

Ask them for study sheets for your children and make them tutor for free.

This is an awesome idea. No need to ask first either. Just tell them you'll drop the kids off at their house after dinner.

My district was very clear when I was hired that we are there to treat the children only, and only care for adults in an emergency. I refer adults to the automatic blood pressure cuffs at pharmacies.
