Far- Where. Have. You. Been.?    I have wondered the same thing. I try to wear pink on Wednesdays- heck, with what COVID has done to all of us and our normal routines. We really need a little old kind of fun. 

Yes. We need to get this to be a real thing again!! 

I have missed you Far! Thank you!

 

Happy Monday Friends!

We need SO many things back that Covid ruined last year!!  I ended up having to create a whole new account (I used to be MHDNURSE) because I was unable to access this site. I blame Covid ?.  I feel like so far this year feels almost more crazy than last and I can't figure out why/. There is nothing new about all the BS that we are doing but it feels worse to me.  Anyone else?

Every year I tell myself I'm gonna make it a thing, but I always forget. Today I serendipitously wore pink pants & a pink mask and my sneakers have pink on them, too, so that counts right? Yes, this year feels crazier. Last year we got to ease into having every student in the building every day, and kids were not getting routine childhood illnesses at nearly the same rate due to everyone in our area masking virtually all the time. Now, unless they're in school, I hardly ever see kids with masks on, so all the bugs are back in town...

On another note, does anyone else ever get the urge to publish their most mundane notes with redacted information at the end of the year to show the teachers how ridiculous they are sometimes? Just to essentially let the teachers know how they sound to us sometimes? Today's winner would be "Nurse called to scene, teacher requesting temperature check; Student thought to be feeling warm. No reported symptoms, student acting at baseline" 

The class just got in from recess, so the kid was probably running around the playground. But rather than using common sense, it's just easier to call me to the classroom. And no matter how many times I educate that skin temp is not equivalent or even necessarily indicative of internal body temp, these calls keep on coming. I've never once caught a fever from these calls, and of course it's always on a non-verbal special ED kiddo. Sigh.

I remembered to wear pink today. This little slice of normalcy is a good thing.
