So this week and next week are January term or “Cardinal Term” as good ole WJC. We have Community Health, which encompasses quite a lot, like Home Health, Hospice, Case Management and drumroll please…..school nursing.
My days playing school nurse were Tuesday and Wednesday. School was cancelled Wednesday (and Thursday and Friday), so Tuesday was my only shot. It was GREAT! I forgot how cute elementary school kids are. Here are some funny conversations we had:
cute first grade boy gingerly holding his arm which is barely scratched: I cut myself.
nurse: What happened?
cutey: Well, I don’t remember but it’s bleeding pretty bad.
nurse: Did you maybe scratch it on something?
cutey: Maybe. It’s bleeding pretty bad. I’ve had two medium drops of blood. (concern in voice).
nurse: oh.
Obviously we needed to hook up a blood transfusion STAT. ha
boy with headache: Hey my head hurts.
nurse: when did it start hurting?
boy: Well, it was hurting this morning and I took some medicine.
nurse: What medicine did you take?
boy:I don’t know.
nurse: Who gave it to you?
boy: My dad.
nurse:Okay let me call your father and see what he says. (calls). It’s going to voicemail.
boy: Oh then he is in California (!)
nurse: oh, well since I don’t know what you took, why don’t you lay down and rest for a while.
boy: okay (lays down for seriously 5 seconds, then gets up). Well it’s my recess right now, sooo
nurse: You’re feeling better?
boy: yeah.
nurse: Okay you can go.
I love it!
LOVE!

Those are awesome! They remind me of the nanny convo’s you used to post.
Mandy: Eshan, what are you doing?
Eshan: I’m being a goofball, am I being a goofball, Mandy?
Mandy: Yes, Eshan, you are a goofball.
Alex: HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
HAHAA I agree with Alex ! You need to get in contact with Eshan, he is probably still heart broken that you are gone. He is what 8 by now? What a cute kid !
Great story. The only time I remember going to the school nurse was when I got hit in the head with a tire swing chain in kindergarten and my skull was exposed. Be glad you didn’t get one of those
It has seriously been 19 days since you last updated. It is really hard to read and visit your blog when you never write on it. Please no more begging for more people to visit. I guess I’ll even just start visiting once a month, since that is about your writing rate these days. Love you!
