There were special treats if she could go a full week without visiting the nurse! Eventually she settled in and managed to visit only 1-2 times a month. The problem is, she just really loved the nurse and enjoyed spending time with her. <br /><br />The ailments stopped when she went off to junior high. But, to this day she and the nurse stay in touch. The nurse and her husband attended her wedding. Kids are funny, they just are.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5883634615775822475.post-74607064240234223952010-01-22T09:04:50.042-05:002010-01-22T09:04:50.042-05:00oohhh, Mrs. Grumpy!!

There is 'sick bay' where they can go lay down if they feel sick though, and ice packs for bumps and bruises. But mostly it is just the school office ladies that attend to it.<br /><br />My daughter has taken full advantage of this in the past, being the drama queen that she is, and I can only imagine how much more she would have utilized the service if there was a fully qualified nurse there.Happy Vegemitehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01261225080169823055noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5883634615775822475.post-81436310624660235412010-01-21T16:47:49.636-05:002010-01-21T16:47:49.636-05:00Then there's the teacher's reply to some k...Then there's the teacher's reply to some kid's attempted excuse to get out of (whatever)..,"No, Johnny, that is the 6th time your grandmother has died this year, and it's only May."Marcohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09930813831113945752noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5883634615775822475.post-18585774414918000802010-01-21T16:45:13.427-05:002010-01-21T16:45:13.427-05:00They start out so young, don't they?

1. Yo...Mrs. Grumpy, RN, my sister in nursehood~~~<br /><br />1. You write as brilliantly as your DH, and have his warped sense of humor. I really LIKE that in both of you.<br /><br />2. Why do kids bother trying to lie if they are ever-so-rotten at doing so??<br /><br />3. I am not a school nurse, but I teach in a nursing program affliated with our local High School, and as such have some students who are seniors in HS. They seem to think we don't notice that whenever we cover a system or disease, they call in sick the next DAY with that same disease. Really, ladies, neither the BPH or beri-beri is gonna fly. Try cramps....I can't dispute those!<br /><br />Please continue to guest-blog and ensure that your bridegroom does the same. Some of us count on you for sanity checks!<br /><br /><br />Fondly,<br />Pattie, RNAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5883634615775822475.post-38980060250201883572010-01-21T09:04:54.394-05:002010-01-21T09:04:54.394-05:00I'm guessing the school nurse is the equivalen...I'm guessing the school nurse is the equivalent of the employee relations person at work.

When my (now 17 year old) daughter was in elementary school she visited the nurse at least 3 times a week. A pain here, a cramp, a splinter... I told the nurse to just hang a sign on her door with Julia written in a circle with a line through it. But she (the nurse) was sweet and listened to each and every ailment. My husband and I even sent daughter to therapy to determine her need to visit the school nurse... <br />Daughter is still a drama queen and hypo but she's sweet too.
