Random Thoughts: School Nurses

Farawyn · Sep 12, 2016

The two secretaries that I can see/hear from my office spend a good 60% of the day complaining about having to do things that ARE THEIR JOB!!! Ug. It makes me nuts all day. And one of them is all about the loud, heavy sigh to let you know that any request (while a part of her daily duties) is a huge inconvenience and keeping her from doing other things.

The bad part is my old secretary was gold. Just the right amount of love and COB. Not a mom, and this one has 4 kids.

Don't. Criticize. The. 7th. Graders.

Do. NOT!!!

I'm telling you. I'm going to say something.

No. Please don't send emails all over the school stating a child has a history of seizure disorder when he does not.

*facepalm*

Now that's funny right there. I see no reason why an email with that info would be sent by anyone by you.

Just spent 5 minutes having a discussion with 2 8th grade girls about what causes "swamp butt'. :sarcastic:

I had a MS student tell me that she has had a headache and that she was watching Grey's Anatomy last night and that Grey's taught her she has a brain tumor.

Even after leaving my office, I heard her say "the nurse is ignoring my brain tumor."

Is this primary swamp butt or secondary swamp butt? I need details.

Let's all agree that Far can be the one to explain this :yes:

*ahem*

Swamp Butt is when 2 large butt cheeks converge and rub, causing friction and dampness between said butt cheeks, which results in a pooling wetness ...otherwise known by 8th graders in this great nation as- Swamp Butt.

We have a slightly different version in the OR- it's when it's so dang hot in the room (peds case, no cardiopulmonary bypass cardiac procedure, trauma) that the sweat is just rolling down into the crack and you have to ask someone to relieve you so you can go and wipe.
