The Puberty Talk

Published

Hi all!

I'm a first year certified school nurse and I'll be giving the puberty talk today to the fifth grade girls (I have a male teacher that agreed to cover the boys).

I have a video that covers a majority of the discussion for me, but wanted to see if any of you had any words of advice? Are any of you in charge of the puberty talk? What kinds of questions were you asked that I should prepare myself for?

Thank you!

I really don't think it is.

I think the Work member vs. Recreational member is my legacy.

Wait. What? I am 45 years old and I don't know what a work member is?

*sits cross criss applesauce*

Explain.

I'm a bariatric educator and I am in here cracking up at the sex ed thread in the school nurse forum. Not sure these could be much further apart but I am entertained so there you go..

I am positive I would get fired from the puberty talk simply because I would be unable to keep from snorting during some of the above questions that have been relayed.

Hmm..4 days away from home, chatting with girlfriends, doing hobbies...where do I sign up????

I have always thought that sounded flipping awesome.

There are always these creepy boyfriends that come to AN, worried that their GF/nurse to be will see a real live member and what kind of nursing can she go in to so she doesn't have to see memberes all day and all night that don't belong to BF.

So, in reply to one particularly insecure manboy I said "There is Work member and there is Recreational member. I'm sure your GF knows the difference."

I woke up the next day to something like 96 likes.

I whip it out PRN. The WP vs RP line, that is.

Truly a legacy to be proud of!!

Ohhhhhhhhh. the WORK member. Yeah. Okay. I don't want to brag or anything but back in my younger nurse days I got a TON of work member. Like, every day. Three or four a day sometimes.

We are all so seasoned with Work member. A true joy.

The opposite is the lolly gagger.

And there's that darn double meaning again...

I found out what "tamping" is today.

I have heard of the practice but didn't know the term.
