feel the need to send me a kid with a no longer bleeding nose? What are they expecting from me? Happens ALL.THE.TIME :banghead: and really, why am I seeing the bloody nose kids at all? Obviously the rare ones that are gushers and won;t stop I totally understand, but 99% of the time the kid walks in with a kleenex and it isn't even bleeding anymore. Rant over

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.

what is "presenting tissue"? lol

Tissue as in a kleenex. Not tissue as in human body tissue. Like the kid holds out a tissue (or paper towel) with one 3mm spot of blood on it :eyeroll:

Wait I know this one! Its a NCLEX prep question!

You are supposed to contact the patient's family to discuss natural or homeopathic remedies that may be safely used as part of the patient's treatment plan!

I crack myself up.:roflmao:;)

What is this supposed to mean? I hope it was not intended to be as insulting as it comes off.

No worries! It's a nurse forum... perfectly normal to think tissue as in skin :)

Nope, can't do anything else...school nursing is where you land when you've failed out of every other nursing opportunity and there are no used car sales or telemarketing positions available.
