You is Tired, You is Broke, You is a School Nurse !

Two more days.......I'm trying to hang on.........Teachers and Snowflakes are testing my patience BIG TIME !!

Who else is hangin' on ?

I'm pretty sure he was joking. It was not funny. I gave him the death stare and told him I would be happy to leave the building for a day and see how he handles everything I have to deal with. He said "No problem, I can manage your job without breaking a sweat."

Sure. He would probably crap himself at the first good laceration, or power puke. :roflmao:

I was out for a 3 day stretch last year for sex education PD and I could get a sub one out of the three days. First day was no sub, second day was sub.

On the second day, sub told me she could actually work the third day. I emailed my principal as such and principal was so happy. She told me that I was awesome and she had no idea what I dealt with.

I bet your AP would call uncle after about 30 minutes of FFs :).

I'm here for now.

The HH and SN stuff is doing better than I thought it was. I do still miss the hospital, but a Crusty-ish Old Bat like me is liking not having my back sore.

And then there's all of you.

My AP referred to "all that nurse stuff" as "nonsense" yesterday.

I left the room. Haven't spoken to him since. Summer WHERE YA AT?!?

Ug. This is enraging. I had a teacher say something similar once and I walked away, speechless (as you may be able to imagine, I'm not speechless very often)

Oh my...whenever anyone talks about how easy my job must be I immediately quiz them. It goes something like this:

Oh, you could be a school nurse, huh? So you just got a call that there's a compound fracture on the far playground. What's your first move? What supplies will you take with you when you head out to the student?

I have more fun quiz questions to follow but no one ever makes it past my compound fracture quiz. Whaddya know-us school nurses might actually have some useful stuff swirling around up in this space between our ears!
