May I have your attention please?

Head lice is NOT an emergency. I repeat- NOT. AN. EMERGENCY.

Please carry on.

ADDENDUM

Nausea is not an emergency, either.

As you were.

And, really, neither is vomit. Vomit happens. Sure, call me, I can handle it. But I'm not running to hold a kid's hair back.

Just so we are clear... Were you performing CPR on a louse or a student?

OMG Yes!! And it's not the type of emergency that I need to clear my office for and GO there either. I get that nausea is uncomfortable, but I promise that little Jaime can make it. And if you get some of these kids (malingerers) away from their audience, it's amazing how fast these symptoms clear up.

Oh . . . my . . . gosh!

I was just stopped in the hallway at our LTC facility by a woman who asked "Are you still the school nurse?". When I said no, she said "But you were, right? So, I need to ask you a question about lice."

Her daughter got it 3 times and she thinks it is from another girl in the classroom. I mentioned that lice don't jump, that lice isn't an emergency (but I said it in a nicer way) and referred her to the new school nurse.

"The only thing that works on my daughter is if I dye her hair which I've done 3 times". Her daughter is in 2nd grade.

The poor school nurse will be getting a phone call today.

Sorry I'm late to the party....I was doing compressions on a louse. I refused to give breaths because I couldn't find a mask. Now the louse is dead, the family is suing, the child the louse belonged to is in hysterics, and the teacher is insisting I fumigate the room to kill all the lice that are jumping and flying around.

Did you preserve the corpse of the louse you killed in a baggie on your bulletin board? For SCIENCE!

Nurses!!!

I am sure the recipient of the CPR was the parent and teacher.

Obvi.
