Random Thoughts about School Nursing not juicy enough for their own topic start here!

My mantra lately: "Wash your HANDS, go back to CLASS and cover your COUGH!"

85 year old teacher fell. O joy. :(

Oh, NO! :( I hope he/she is OK.

PS: Holy cow, 85 and still working?! Wow! :up:

Mhm. :/

Okay, I've moved on from the ABX strep throat sprayers over the doorways -- now I would please like aerosolized Claritin and albuterol over each doorway! Or better yet, an airlock -- go in, breathe 30 seconds, THEN you can go outside.

Or, maybe it's a bad thing to be working at 85?? LOL ;)

For the record, I pray that I am NOT still working at age 85...

It's crazy in here. CRAZY.

Agreed Farawyn! The kids have 19 more days of school. We have to stay 4 workdays after the kids are done. It seems like a full moon EVERY. SINGLE. DAY.

We have 11 separate field trips coming up; the first one is Friday. So far, no one has volunteered to carry the first aid kit and administer lunchtime meds and prn inhalers to students. I also don't have a roster for 5 of those field trips to figure out what meds to send. I've emailed the teachers about it, but haven't gotten a response. I guess it's time to be volunTOLD!

I KNOW! What was up yesterday? Full moon? During the DAY? I think I broke my visit record. It wasn't nutty visits. Just a lot. Non-stop stream of kiddos with goofy complaints.

"My waist hurts when I breathe in."

"Someone squeezed my arm & now it hurts."

"Someone squeezed my arm & now it hurts."

This morning someone complained "He blood pressured me in the cafeteria!"

He did what now?? Squeezed his arm hard. I see the phenomenon has spread nationwide!
