And so it begins.

I wish it didn't. I wish it wasn't.

Mom told me to stick him an Uber and send him home. Reeking of marijuana. Our term is "he's not in a learning mode."

Needless to say, he is waiting here in my office.

Last year was rough. I had a whole bunch of kids taking benzos. I was hoping the new school year would being less, but I think it will be more.

[Flare, ASN, BSN]

hmmm... and we wonder where the issues stem from. Go mom! I hope the trend doesn't continue for you

In related news i have bestowed upon me a brandy new naloxone for my office. ...yay

[Farawyn]

Brandy?

[Flare, ASN, BSN]

a snifter or two may make this more palatable. more medications to waste at the end of the year, more to remember and keep track of. Just what i always wanted.

For far and the kids. Hubs is a teacher and daily he will tell me about the kids in his class openly talking about drinking and smoking weed. Proud of it. These are kids. Ugh, hurts my heart.

[NutmeggeRN, BSN]

And so it begins.

Ugh...

[WineRN]

This is why it takes the right kind of heart and nurse to handle those high school kiddos. I have parents come in smelling like cannabis, but I can't even imagine having emergency naloxone or worrying about benzos.

This is why I would not want to be a HS nurse

This is why I would not want to be a HS nurse

But on the bright side....mine know their names, their meds, why they're taking the meds, and they never throw up on my shoes...

[Windchaser22]

Ugh. Here we have to also call the police and send the kid for an immediate test. One of the reasons I like elementary, even tho they puke on my shoes.
