I am questioning myself on this. I think it's because I've gotten gun shy from getting screamed at by parents. Like every school nurse, I see many tummy aches, headaches, sore throats, ear aches, etc. I always call home whenever a child bumps his...

Gee, don't give them any crazy ideas, ok?í ½í¸³

I might include lost tooth visits in there, too...

my "magic" staple remover takes out shoelace knots in seconds! Try it, it works

This is my biggest pet peeve! My experience is that some parents do that for two reasons. 1) It will stop the kids from nagging you to let them stay home, and if they're really sick the nurse will call anyway and 2) it's easier to tell your boss yo...

Yes, I got the "well I don't want to get sick on my vacation" lecture today. Again. Like it's my fault the kid has a cough but his lungs are fine, no fever, no sore throat, and Mom had already given him cough medicine. So I told them that working i...

Oh, I just noticed the little check mark next to my name turned to silver!! Hurrah me!! Do I win any prizes? chocolates? wine? No? Nothing?

I had a teacher complain that her kg kids were always sick, which was making her sick. Umm, you work in an elementary school cesspool of germs! Did you not know that before you became a teacher? Geesh, wash your hands and stop complaining to me a...

Yes - I was just going to say this!!!

Wait, you mean you don't keep a jar full of the little critters in your desk to sprinkle on unsuspecting innocents? C'mon, admit it, you do, right? It's our dirty little school nurse secret!

And, having to call 3 different phone numbers for Family Member, leaving messages and then trying the 3 other numbers they gave you....

Yes to all of the above!!!

All.the.time!

I Triple like this!!

Hammy???Gone????????Never to return??? OH NO!! Do you think he went to the Great Hamster Wheel in the Sky?? I once had a dog who "went to live on a farm in upstate New York". Do you think he went there? I am HEARTBROKEN!! :bluecry1: (plays taps...

Good one!í ½í±

No fair!!!í ½í¸¡

No offense, but you lost me somewhere in the top third of your post... Anyway, the Board is the one making the rules and you'll have to do what they ask. I still can't figure out how you ended up with all these charges that weren't true either. My br...

I had a first grader tell me yesterday that he's had a sore throat "since I was a baby" ?

Yes, I have this same problem. It's always the "odd" allergy that this seems to apply to. Once our data clerk sees this on the registration form, she enters in onto the child's record. When the teacher accesses it, they just see "ALERT - FOOD ALLER...

Can I be on the committee???? Please? Pretty Please? With sugar on top???

BP 200/100 with chest pain/pressure - adult, seizure activity - child
