That's great! Glad you're so happy in your new position!

so ready here! 5 days left.

Congratulations and welcome!!

Congratulations! You will be missed here and I am sure you will be missed at your school. Enjoy retirement and come visit us!

It's one of the absolute best parts of this job as far as I am concerned. I get to relax, spend time with my family and recharge my batteries. 19 more days for me. Can't wait!

I told my husband on about day 7 of this job, before I had stock epi and standing orders for epi, if it ever comes down to it and I see a kid in anaphylaxis with no order, I'm using someone else's epi pen. It may mean I lose my job and/or my license but I can't just sit there and do nothing when I have something that might help. He agreed. Thankfully I have never had that situation come up but it could totally happen.

My policy for return is generally 24 hour vomit free but there are exceptions. If you go home @ 11:00 after vomiting, then take a nap, eat a hearty dinner and breakfast and are ready to go in the morning without another episode of vomiting and no other signs of being sick, I'm good with you coming back. But you can't skip lunch and dinner, sleep 15 hours, wake up and eat 1/2 an english muffin on the way to school and come back. That's not going to cut it for me.

We don't have a cafeteria. I give out snacks to anyone who forgot one at home. The good thing is a forgotten snack then clues us in that the child probably didn't bring lunch so we can call home for someone to bring them something by lunchtime. My snacks are donated to me by PTA, other staff members, my superintendent, myself, etc.

38 after today!

Oh hot glue guns. I always cringe when I smell them because I KNOW I'm going to see a few kiddos that day.

Kidzcare I was thinking Pacer Day too. ? I do the 5th grade girls video (Nurse and Health Teacher here) but the PE teacher does the boys. Always an interesting day. Good luck!

6 working days until Spring Break, and then 39 until Summer.

Welcome Back. Personally, I like classic better than dinosaur. But glad to see you back here.

so funny I just found his site a few days ago and was checking it out.

I would forward all calls to her, in the classroom, while she's teaching. I mean she is obviously more qualified to deal with this than you are. ?
