This has been the longest week ever!!! I need Thanksgiving Break. Just heard the announcement "Please release Mr.__________________ 5th period class to the cafeteria. You guessed it, field trip I knew nothing about. And at this late hour, his problem and not mine!!!
And passes - I swear I want to kill these teachers. How hard is it to fill out a darn pass?? Especially when we are doing tardy freezes randomly this week.
Or they can complete a pass with every single box checked under symptoms with a diagnosis and treatment plan written and don't forget the frowny face!!! However, they cannot write the kid's name ant what time they left class.
I am in a small school and have all sorts of responsibilities not related to being the Nurse. Everyone has to wear many hats. I am responsible for attendance, coordinating dismissal, health class curriculum and teaching, graduation cap and gowns, admin for our data system and more. In my schools there's less I don't have a role in than I do. I like being involved in so many aspects of the school.
Wow, that's a lot. I have multiple schools as do most of our nurses in our district. There's 30 of us and 50 schools. Most of us have 2 schools unless we have a high school or a large middle school. Our roles are limited to the clinic only per our contracts. We are all a part of a department (health services/student services) and then placed in our schools so our principals aren't our bosses.
I've had more kids today than Weds and Thurs combined. I should have known it would be a crazy day when I woke up with my alarms (yes, plural) not getting me up.
My brain is like oatmeal this week. I haven't even started my Christmas shopping, and my tree has no ornaments on it. TGIF.
My brain is too! I've been car shopping and Christmas shopping has landed low on the priority list. My school has a vomiting bug going around and fevers galore. I'm sending them home left and right.
Between the school and my other job, today is my 12th day working in a row. It is not at all like the 12 days of Christmas
Yesterday it was 70*, tonight they're calling for MORE SNOW! WHAT!!!!
PS, anyone have some anti-strep throat spray that I can set up over our front doors to douse every person who enters the building? Because that would be really helpful!
