I just can't take the stupidity anymore. Nope, I'm done! Four weeks to go...I can do this!! Sorry for being so vague but I'm tired of the ridiculous reasons the students are coming to me for, the...

Yes!!! I get this too!!! The teachers use my bathroom. Well, the ones on the first floor do. And sometimes when they come out, my room is filled with more students than when they came in. My patience...

Just the title alone on this post is cracking me the heck up!!!! I love that we all have similar issues. It's ridiculous to say the least! My favorite line was from the over dramatic preschool...
This post is great!!! I have lots of these and there seems to be no end in sight!! Ridiculous requests from teachers and some parents too! Here are a few that stand out.... Third grade student's...
Referring back to my last post...I just can't take the stupidity anymore!!!! I was presented today with an expired inhaler....three years expired!!!! I just don't understand this kind of parenting....
Student got hit in the mouth by another student's fidget spinner. So she sends both students to my office. Obviously I get sending the one child of course but why do I have to see the other child who...
Lol, no! The student chucked it at the other student's face. No swelling, no redness. Just a sad kiddo. Now I regret buying my two oldest these silly things!! I think they got bored of them or lost...

I'm usually left alone which I prefer. I occasionally see the principal every once and awhile. And sometimes when she stops in, I get a little nervous, feeling like a student myself! The principal is...
Happy Friday School Nurses!! Happy that it is Friday, it's raining (which means no softball game tonight for my daughter, I need a break from sports!) and we don't have school on Monday! But, the...

Also want to add that I can pretty much take off at my discretion which helps with doctor appointments, school events for my kids, etc. Downside, I have to find my own sub but it usually works out...

I love children. But ironically was never interested in pediatrics. I don't want to work with really sick children or deal with cranky parents. I was a former preschool teacher for years and I always...
Former night shift nurse on a sub acute floor!! My very first nursing job ever and it was pure hell!! I could not stand hearing, "oh, you have the easy shift, everyone sleeps!" Or, "so what do you do...
