It's not even 8 am yet (here)...

YIKES! 1/2 the school is on a field trip today so I'm hoping I can get through some of the mountain of paperwork on my desk. Hope your day gets better!

Hang in there!!!

I hate mornings like that. I'll bet you walked in to the grinning hall monitor saying, "YOU HAVE A CUSTOMER!"

Good lord. Hang in there, ohiobobcat.

Well its 0850 here, and so far I've seen one with a reaction to a flu shot that is has gotten bigger since yesterday, a nosebleed, an itchy bug bite...really?..., a puker with a temp, a kid that brought me eye drops that his mom said I could give, except I can't without a med. auth. form, a "my shin hurts", the kid that has to use my bathroom because even though he is in 5th grade, he can't figure out how to wipe himself apparently, and the icing, or should I say gum, on the cake...Gum in the hair. Because that's the nurses job.

Does everyone have one of those???

I think the full moon got stuck last week and it's hanging around. I had a 2nd grade teacher bring me two footballs with dog poo on 'em last week because that's my job to clean 'em off.

Same teacher jumped down my throat yesterday because I allowed a kid to return to school within the 24 hour time period after vomiting. It had only been 23 hours...23!!! I told her if she had issues with my nursing judgment to please take her concerns to my boss and discontinue the gossip amongst the hens. Nanapoo's had it up to HERE.

"You have a CUSTOMER" is like fingernails on a chalkboard.

And, I hope you answered, "Your balls, your poop"!

"Your balls, your poop"!

Hee hee...that made me giggle!

I can't stand "you have a customer!"

I also can't stand "NURSE!!! WE HAVE A BLEEDER!!!" for a ^%$# scraped knee.

Or, same hall monitor coming in to your office.. FULL HOUSE TODAY, HUH???

I am lmao.

Our start time is 8:30am. I won't see a kid before then unless it's an emergency. Teachers are not expected to start teaching until 8:30am and I'm not nursing till then either. I need time to actually get to my clinic, unpack all my stuff and get ready for the day. I don't have a problem telling a student to go back to class, get a clinic pass and see me after class starts.

Today is 1/2 a day. Thank God. This week has been crappy. Total nonsense going around right now. My patience is almost nonexistent.

My first student of this morn said, "I have snot in my throat. I ate Cheerios and now the snot is stuck to the Cheerios in my stomach." Oh, that's great. NEXT!

My nursing skills are on point today.

I was in the school parking lot when I spilled coffee all over myself. Of course, this is the first school year I have not brought an extra pair of scrubs. I met my husband halfway as he brought me some clean ones. That made me get here after the tardy bell and well, you know it goes downhill from there.
