Had a student come in complaining of a stomachache. Stated he had raviolis for breakfast but also said he felt hungry. No fever. Did the usual "have you gone to the bathroom?; been passing gas?" schpil....Ended up giving him a snack and he didn't like how it tasted (apparently raviolis were filet mignon
) so he opted to go back to class with some peppermints, a drink of water, and instructions to try to make it to lunch in the next 30 minutes. All of this was charted.
What wasn't charted???
His return visit almost 2 hours later.....he comes bopping into my office with a big grin on his face "Nurse Keeper!!! When I got to math class I farted sooooooo big!! And guess what?! My stomach felt better afterwards! WHO KNEW?!?!" I just laughed and laughed!!! I should have added that in as a reassessment I suppose but it definitely tickled me!!
Sidenote: beaver nuggets are addicting!! But definitely shouldn't be eaten in large quantities!!
Had to Google Beaver Nuggets... Not at all what the name initially conjured up in my farm girl brain :)
BWHAHAH!
The year of the ghost pepper challenge... that was fun. Mostly charting the comments of the parents. A dozen kids ingested a substance from a complete stranger and got sick. Only one parent thought it might be the school's fault.

A few years ago I was charting what a student said to me and I wondered if anyone reading this in the future what would they think.
Here's a couple of examples: (I am a detailed charter, so I try to put in what they tell me):
C/O stomachache. States she ate a whole bag of Beaver Nuggets from Bucky's. (All my Texas peeps may know the fascination with Bucky's gas stations)
Transferred student via mule to car in student parking lot.
Anyone else have any funnies?
