I have a one student at a time policy in my clinic. If I have one on the recovery couch and need to bring another in, I check with both before nu.ber 2 comes in. Kids here will blow the most minor...
It's crazy the cold sx coming in and the nasty old stomach bug! 20 kids before 11am! I have 40 sick days built up and darn it, I'm using them this year! I refuse to be sick but if asked, I'm in dire...
Last year I had 2 T1D kiddos and had a heck of a time getting parents to communicate changes in orders much less show up for any meetings. Heck they wouldn't even answer the phone when the kids had...

I'm never alone with students if it involves bathroom accidents or disrobing. I'm fortunate that I have a male staff member that will come in and assist Pre K boys if needed with the bathroom...
Hoping and praying this isn't going to be the story of your year! I had to call once last year for a staff member, hoping it will be my only time. I'm currently doing daily BP checks on one staffer...

I had a parent chase me down in June because her precious had lice, school had been out 6 weeks already!! Some how I didn't see this as my business while I'm enjoying a rare day with the
I was back in the saddle 8/3. Today was day 5 for the wee ones, only 175 to go. I guess that says how the first 5 days have gone, right? Daughter has graduated college and moved out of the house....
And that travels with a kid all the way to graduation. This is why I usually send the kid on back to class if I find anything, don't tell the teacher anything and call parents. If the parents pick...
This is wrong of me but, that last week I gave out toothbrushes to the PK class with the most lice phobic teachers. As I left the room I quietly mentioned that the timed release lice eggs where...
No kids today!!! I still had a little paper work and cleaning to finish, of course I was in a pink tee shirt and favorite shorts! Those of you still in school, the end is in sight! Everyone have a...
I really do have a shower in my office, it's currently being used as a storage area. I had a PreK teacher stop by today while I was cleaning out some things from the dark ages. (I found some oddly...
Today I had a second grader that c/o a splinter that "no one can do anything for". So I pulled out my trusty splinter getter tool (tweezers with a magnifying glass attached), a flash light for the...
We had field day today and our lovely PTO set up a water slide. They used baby shampoo to make it slicker when the kids slide down it. I sure hope that mother notices her little dear smells like baby...
I removed a tick from kids arm, cleaned the area and put a band aid on it. It's really an ongoing custody battle between 4 adults that that really need to grow up. They are so intent on making the...
Not a student complaint but a step mother called me today to ask why I didn't give her step child a bath yesterday?!!!! Where in the job description does it say bathing first grade kids is my...
Six different kids with toothaches!! More headaches than I could count! But most creative was the kid eating strawberries and coughed, he and his buddy arrived at my door out of breath (running down...
Some of the parents and grandparents that are nurses also have dropped by with goodies this week. Our media specialist and secretary both left gifts on my desk so not too bad this week. Teacher...
