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!"

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.

This is like field day-so much fun for everyone else, torture for me! I'm just waiting for a disaster!

It actually went well. They all blatantly cut out of class but they were right on the front lawn of the school. Since the principal took a few runs on the slip-n-slide he waived all the cuts.

FF 9th grader comes in with silver bra totally sticking out of purple tank with spaghetti straps. When I told her to put a shirt on she says "You're just jealous because you don't look like this anymore!"

I died laughing. She was kind of right!

I argued with a kid that was sent down from the Dean for wearing a non-school and non-appropriate shirt. I gave her two separate uniform shirts to try, but since both were too big (i.e. they were both actually not skin tight) she refused. Right back to the Dean she went.

Then I called 911 for an asthma kid.

And it is 88 degrees for the third day in a row in a row in my non air-conditioned school and every single person is feeling it.

And - the kicker - I am almost out of saltines!!!

But how many tampons do you have?

Last day of classes was today. I'm here for the next 2 weeks for kids tests and Regents.

Oh, I have plenty of tampons. So I'm good ;).

I have actually been off site the last two days for Sex Ed HS curriculum training - taking on educating the 10th graders next year about all "the sex." Tomorrow I am back in my office with 4.5 school days remaining...

See now, you are a better woman than I. My first thought would have been. "Even in my prime, I never dressed like a hooker." :yeah:

Goodbye, elementary school. Hello, middle school. I followed a couple of my extra-fragile/gtube-fed special ed kiddos here. Whole different world. Heard some little darling say the f-word to his buddy in the hall as I was passing. Nice. Welcome to 2015-2016, nurses!
