    minor complaints

    Today is Lice Tuesday. Monday was Lice Monday. Last week was Lice Week. I am drowning in lice complaints, combing and nasty calls from parents. We've not had what I'd consider an outbreak or...

    Malingering Monday

    Yup, it was pretty bad . But, a kindergartener wanted me to have a sticker on his hand that said "Nice Job" so I put it on my shirt. For those who follow the JRRNPNAF thread in the Psych Nurses...

    Oh, JRRNPNAF,, you saved the day! He is too modest to tell what happened, but I will share. I was held prisoner in my clinic by the same group of kindergardeners that were creating havoc at my...

    Random Thoughts: School Nurses

    Our poor secretary gets calls daily from people who saw the school called, but nobody left a message. Each classroom has its own phone, and there's no way for her to know who called. If it was that...

    Uh oh, JRRNPNAF, we have a problem here. The sprinkles had the OPPOSITE effect I had intended. The kindergarteners have turned rogue. Think the bar scene from the movie Gremlins. I mean, it's...
  23. I guess my concern is this. You ask if I have guns in the home, and I say yes. You educate me on gun safety. OK, I get that. (As if I didn't already know, BUT because other folks are ignorant or...
