So, we really need a place to log the ridiculous reasons some kids have to get out of class and come see the nurse. You know, those pressing medical problems like, "my lips hurt." I had that one today.
Earlier this year I had a student come see me because she had a hair on her tongue!!
Somewhere there is a teacher giving these kids a clinic pass for these visits!
What are the crazy reasons to see the nurse at your clinic??
I'm not a school nurse, but my (fully potty trained) kindergartener took a trip to the nurses office yesterday because she wet her pants. Why didn't she go to the bathroom? "Beause I was trying to set a world record for the longest time holding my potty."
No, honey, a NURSE holds that record.
"My bra came undone and I can't reach it to fix it", and "I got muddy at recess" and "I broke my flip flop" all in one day, and all sent down by teachers. Also a stomach ache exactly four minutes before dismissal.
I've gotten the bra undone thing. I think teachers are just paranoid. It's been beat into their heads never to lay hands on a child... A god thing!
If she is old enough to wear a bra, she shouldn't need help hooking herself back up! Bathroom, not nurse .
I had a student come to my office with a note from the science teacher that said, "sleep there, not in science."GRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!
I've had kids sent me with a note/phone call asking if I can give a kid something to keep them awake. Um, what kind of office do you think I am running here?
