Ridiculous Reasons to See the Nurse

Published

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??

It's hat day here today, I can already guess how many LD are going to show up with head aches or say they feel hot!

BTW, my hat is giving ME a HA already. I don't dare take it off...the hat hair will scare the kiddies! (Several of the smart ones did stop me in the hall this morning to tell me how pretty and cute I look in my new hat! LOL!! they want something, I just know they do)

What kind of hat?

Specializes in School Nurse, professor, OBGYN.

My tooth is loose :down:

What kind of hat?

Black newsboy hat, hubby calls it a flat hat.

Crazy Hat day here, too. Mean nurse used the opportunity to email teachers to remind students NOT to share hats in honor of Lice Check Friday 😗

"My underwires are too tight and it's giving me chest pain."

Mine broke free and stabbed me last week. Traitor.

So I took OldDude's advice once I got home. #freebird

I've been going with the Victoria Secret sports bra. Flattering, not flattening.

I have reminded everyone as well!

You have cameras set up in my house?

2nd grader comes in with his pass....teacher takes the time to write out a nursing pass because.....student has itch on ankle. So....Ok I ask the student, what's the problem.....He replies "I swear Mrs. J, if I had 5 legs, they would all be broke right now."

Wait...What?! I would have paid to see the look on my own face as I desperately try to process this. I reply with "So the itch gone?" He pulls up his pant leg and scratched it....."yep, and no broken bones"

So confused

Middle School student (FF always has drama) came in, chief complaint, "the nerves in my right leg are shot." Me: please explain further

Student: my nerves are shot, fried, done

Me: why exactly do you think this?

Student: my right foot twitched 3 times today

Me: has this ever happened before?

Student: no, my nerves haven't ever been shot before

Me: well, I suggest you go back to class and we will just have to wait and see (after taking a few minutes to assess said leg, assessment was negative)

Student: wait and see for what?

Me: if you will need an amputation.

Student then hightailed it out of my office and hasn't been back since.
