student comes in and says,,can you wash my hair I have a lot of gel in it from field day yesterday? I asked if he showered this am before school, Nope, I got up late. Nope, you can go back to class and you can take a shower when you go home. he said "seriously?, your not gonna wash my hair".

I gently said, no, I am a nurse not a hair stylist.....go back to class, OR I can ask your parents to leave work and come in and wash your hair, he said no, they are working I don't want to bother them....

hmmm.

Specializes in school nursing, ortho, trauma.

Can you imagine the phone call if you did wash the kids hair? I once had a second grader who took it upon herself to wash her hair with hand soap in the bathroom. Her parents were not amused but I didn't even know it happened until after ward.

School full of subs today...of course that calls for multiple faker-itis visits. Lord help me. :sarcastic:

The kids are so DONE, and so am I!

That's why I recommend inculcating a well-balanced, therapeutic reign of terror earlier in the school year so the kids know that taking advantage of a sub will have consequences...

I just about lost it with a 4th grader who came in here drooling a long line of bloody spit all over the floor after pulling his tooth out.

I need a beer. or five.
