Random Thoughts: School Nurses

Published

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!"

Why do parents think that saying "I always submit my forms late" is an excuse? I feel like responding that two wrongs (or more by the sound of it) don't make a right.

In a similar vein, why do school staff believe that the deadlines don't apply to them?

Why do parents who work in healthcare seem to have more difficulty understanding the concept of a deadline?

We just had the celebration for our 8th graders - kinda a graduation from 8th to 9th grade since my school is 5-12. I could not go to the ceremony, but one teacher asked all of the teachers and staff to write a piece of advice for the students on a piece of paper and she took our picture with it. The pictures were then part of a slideshow at the celebration.

My advice? "Go BACK to class!"

Apparently I was the hit of the celebration without even being there :roflmao:.

One of my schools gave me a little box with words of advice from the teachers on cute little cards. The best:

write a book on how to give "the talk"

volunteer at the senior center to teach them about STDs

never be a nit picker again

do something fun on Sunday nights--they're no longer "school nights"

and my favorite: speak your mind--you've earned it!

The seniors are setting up a Slip-n-Slide on the front lawn of the school. :/

Between the bikinis, wet t-shirts and potential injuries this day is turning into Hell on wheels.

That sounds like a law suit about to happen to me. And all the ice packs...oh, all the ice packs...

That would be awesome to see though even if it destroyed your anonymity.

Edited this looks like a principal racing a student:
