Why do teachers

i don't think the teachers realize we need to chart every blasted thing that comes through our door. or probably don't care. I choose to believe the former to keep the peace even though I know in my heart of hearts it's the latter.

Because it's not in their union contract.

Why do teachers send me kids that fell asleep in class?

"Well, you're awake now, back to class!"

Yep. And I always chart the same thing. "Student reports spontaneous nosebleed presenting tissue with scant amount of blood. Bleeding subsided before arrival at health office. Washed hands/face in restroom and returned to class"

Yes!

I just had a kid (ff status) present, 10 minutes after the bell, with vague complaints. First, it was his throat, which looked okay when I checked it, then he was "gonna puke", then he had body aches (98.0), then he was tired. I asked him if his mother knew he didn't feel well. "Yeah, but she wanted me to try at least." Mom isn't going to pick him up, asked him to go back to class (he went ahead and texted her on his way to my office). Kid comes back 5 min later, "My math teacher (and huge hypochondriac), said I can't be in class if I'm sick." Ugh!!

Preach!

I do that but then I write on the pass "Nosebleed resolved on the way to clinic!" With a smiley.

I like when I get to write "Student presented with no tissues and no evidence of bleeding, advised student to keep fingers out of nose"

Or tell me that the kid has been sleeping in class for 45 minutes. The kid is breathing

what is "presenting tissue"? lol

Im so glad to hear Im not the only one that wants to beat my head against my desk when these types of students present to my office. One of these days Im going to let out the scream I hear in my head when these little darlings come prancing in!!!!!!

And I have one of these in my clinic right now, can only vomit in the boys restroom but never so much as gags the 2 hours he has already spent with me this morning...........

Doesn't look ill, does not smell like vomit. Mom now not answering her phone.
