Random Thoughts: School Nurses

Farawyn · Dec 11, 2015

I had a parent call out the school nurse (me) on Facebook for calling and not leaving a message. This mom is a nurse WHO I WORKED WITH in the ER. We have been friends WAY longer than I have been her child's nurse at school. I said (on Facebook)- "Whoops that was me!! Sorry, I tried to reach "Tom" (the dad) instead." And she STILL b****ed about it after I apologized. If it was important I WOULD HAVE LEFT A MESSAGE!!!! I just needed a parent to tell me it was OK to give Suzy some Tylenol for her headache. I was very angry that day and had to step away from Facebook for a bit after that one.

/Unfriend

I mean, seriously.

This is why I'm not on FB.

No, I have walkie talkies, I always forget to turn mine on or put it back to the right channel.

Dude.

Peace to you, Sandy Hook. :cry:

Sort of puts all things in perspective, doesn't it?

Ugh. My son went to bed at 7:30 last night. He's 17! *bracing myself*

About 5 kids with it right now, diagnosed. All boys.

Student enters my office (this is visit #14 this school year for this student).

Student: Is it normal to blow your nose and see blood in the tissue?

Me: Uhhh. Hello. How are you? Not really, but usually it's not anything serious. (*I explain why this usually happens*)

Student: Really? So you can't do anything about this? *Rolls eyes*

Me: No, I am not going up in your nose to fix this.

Student: *Sighs* Can you sign my pass?

Me: With pleasure.

I am getting better at sniffing out the kids who come in with a made up story, trying to get a pass.

This one right here smells suspicious. :cautious:

Yeah, but this kid couldn't smell it. His nose was all bloody :)
