its 3:13pm ( school lets out at 3:50pm) student comes in with teacher. and it goes like this: teacher says student looks like he is about to vomit. student just ate a snack and he denies any other symptoms. so i take his temp. and its normal. he rests in the health room for a few minutes and next he is sent back to class to get ready for dismissal. his teacher asked me to call his dad to pick him up, and i kindly explained that he did not have a fever, and did not vomit and his snack probably made his tummy a little upset, and besides he will be going home very soon anyway. i told her i will send home a note. she insisted that i call because his parents are always worried about him, i told her no need to call and if they do have a concern about it tomorrow then i'll be happy to explain why i did not call.
five minutes later the students' parent is calling me. he says the teacher called him to pick up the student for home. i told him there was no indication that he needed to go home right away. i explained what the complaint was and the students temp. dad was completely ok with this. he tells me " well i guess the teacher was just covering her self"
i'm just so sick of this. :angryfire:angryfire
well thanks for letting me vent ! it was either going down there and letting that teacher have it or coming to an. what makes me upset the most is that i personally told her the reasons why i'm not calling and she calls anyway !
I really want to tell these teachers, "I don't come to your classroom and critique your lesson plans, please don't come to my clinic and question my nursing judgment". I cannot stand when a lay person tries to substitute his/her judgment for mine when it comes to medical issues. Unless you have RN, LVN, MD or something close to that behind your name, shut up!
Oh, but they do know everything because they googled it :yeah::yeah:or their best friend's cousin's boyfriend's next door neighbor had the exact same thing . ;)

Sounds like this person is very insecure and trying to make herself look important and attentive. It is too bad when people try to make decisions where they have little or no knowledge. In the old days known as butt-in-skies!
