Ridiculous Reasons to See the Nurse

Specialties School

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??

Specializes in school nursing; pediatrics.

5th grader walks in and states that he broke his pelvis. (Same kiddo who has eaten leaves to make himself throw up, told his teacher he was blind and could not see, smears blood all over his face when he gets a spontaneous bloody nose because it looks really cool...)

Really, you walked in here just fine...and how did you break your pelvis?

Doing front flips off of the slide on the playground yesterday.

Bye Felicia!!!
