  1. Do you ever say no to calling home?

    SchoolNurseTXstyle replied to Kittery's topic in School

    I do exactly the same thing! Middle school, high socioeconomic community - they all have cell phones. I am not sure if some of the moms ever even leave the parking lot after drop off. It seems like...

    SchoolNurseTXstyle replied to fetch's topic in School

    LOL! I did not finish the post because I got called away to bandage a student across the hall with 1/2 drop of blood on his arm. Because of me wiping it with an antiseptic wipe and plopping a band-aid...

    I am at a middle school and almost daily when I am trying to get out the door, some kid from after school athletics comes in for some minor boo boo. Same before school, they are waiting for me when I...

    SchoolNurseTXstyle replied to cynmrn's topic in School

    SchoolNurseTXstyle replied to ohiobobcat's topic in School

  8. OK- I give up.

    SchoolNurseTXstyle replied to ohiobobcat's topic in School

    I call this the "let's see how much of the nurse's time I can possibly waste syndrome." So much of my day is just spent on stupid scenarios such as this. I will talk to a parent, come to a decision to...

    SchoolNurseTXstyle replied to Farawyn's topic in School

  10. Ridiculous Reasons to See the Nurse

    SchoolNurseTXstyle replied to NanaPoo's topic in School

  13. forged Dr notes

    SchoolNurseTXstyle replied to mycsm's topic in School

    I have parents at my school even lying about their child's medical conditions. For example, a student on crutches for a "broken" hip who needed to be out of PE x 12 weeks. All I ever received was a...

    SchoolNurseTXstyle replied to NanaPoo's topic in School

    A student came in carrying his lunch tray yesterday. "I bit my tongue." 1. That's life, everybody bites their tongue. 2. Let the kid eat their lunch first, if they still have pain after - then, send...

  18. Parents sending kids to you before the bell

    SchoolNurseTXstyle replied to loveschoolnursing's topic in School
