@@jrcell5832... so you rather a child die and you get fired instead of saving that child's life I am so glad that you didn't work my son's school when he had his allergic reaction to nuts because had he had to go to the hospital because your dumbass would not give him his EpiPen I had a case because your a** would not be standing!
@@koppsr honestly it sucks if the kid dies but if you can’t administer it you can get sued and they’ll take everything from you. There’s plenty of stories of people saving other then the person they saved sues them a takes all their assets. If you’re single and want to risk it by all means risk your livelihood if you have a family don’t risks theirs.
People who just regurgitate pieces of the video we ALL just watched are the lowest form of life. Why bother commenting if you’re not even saying anything new?
It's awesome when people actually do some research before filming. Can't remember the exact case but do recall reading about an actor that completely went off script for parts of several scenes because he had researched his role and simply corrected the parts where the writer and producer had their heads up. After some debate and because his changes worked so smoothly with the action they only cropped or reshot 2 of like 15 scenes. Actor and movie went on to win Oscars and guess which 2 scenes the critic that also knew reality shredded.
@heatherbell2383 As an EMT in the USA, we hold for 3, then rub the area for 10. Also I have EpiPens for my own allergies and they have the same instructions. Maybe it's different in different countries or with different brand pens?
In jr high I had surgery on both knees. Not a week after my school had me climbing to the 4th floor at the start of each day and going down at the end. Day three I collapsed and was screaming in pain for two hours. Nurse said I was faking it. My mother knew it was real because I had gotten metal shoved in my bones. The school was put on a three way with my surgeon and my father. My dad had to wait for doc to stop tearing them a new one for him to start. The words I loved and laughed at the most "If he has to have another surgery because of you idiots I'll personally fund their lawsuit against you!" And she meant it.
This pisses me off so much. I’ve had Crohn’s disease my whole life and would always come to the nurses office when I had severe stomach pain or was throwing up to the point where they thought I was faking, one day I was playing tether ball and I guess I over exerted myself since I was already sick from my stomach and losing blood through my poop so I ended up collapsing, everything turned red next thing I know I’m on the floor screaming because I was a heavy girl and the fall made me fracture my leg I couldn’t even move. They called the nurses, they didn’t come with a wheelchair until a student helped me hop while screaming and i was already almost at the office. Get that, a student helped not even a teacher a damn student. Then the nurses wouldn’t even help me into the chair told me to stop faking even though I was screaming and had tears running nonstop face bloodshot red. They didn’t even want to call my mom so guess what, I called her myself with my own phone and told the nurse that she was a bitch, that her job was to protect and treat the children of this school not turn them away when they’re visibly in pain. Told her I would sue her if any of what she did or lack there of made my injury worse. Not sure if I was right to say that to her but at the time it’s what felt like needed to be said.
@@Beautiful.SavageYou were in pain and the nurse was doing nothing despite-according to the information given- knowing you have a condition. When we’re experiencing extreme emotions and feelings we do things that we may not have done with a clear mind. Sometimes you gotta be the asshole to make people open their ears. Also, the nurse telling you to stop faking when you're clearly in pain might get classified as negligence.
Fully Licensed RN here…THIS is why schools NEED to have nurses on staff full-time! too many schools have stopped using nurses, leaning on teachers to take care of sick children. That is not the teachers job that is the job of a licensed professional nurse. School systems & school boards need to stop being so freaking cheap, our children’s lives depend on it. Parents in this country need to stand up and DEMAND that art programs, sports programs AND licensed nurses remain in our schools. Our country’s kids need all of these things and a GOOD EDUCATION! (there’s my 99 ¢) and I love this lady! STOP talking!😅😊💜💜💜
No kids but see all children as our future. They need EVERYTHING to grow up happy, healthy, and safe. Cheaping out on our adults of tomorrow is a huge mistake. Teachers need our support too. It's unforgivable when a good teacher has to spend her already pitiful salary for much needed school supplies and sometimes food for underfed students.
but we need to pay those teachers more... I mean not really but this is a great excuse for getting those "administrators" that don't teach, don't do nothing, only add to problems more money so the teachers can keep getting screwed and then getting pissed off and carrying those picketts around to scream for more money so it can all go to the "administration" so the administration can afford to find more ways to cut costs so they can get more money while the teachers are still getting screwed... oh... and the students too... but NO ONE gives any care for them. Not their parents, not the teachers, not the administration, not the politicians... no one. Or there would be more people calling this BS out! Reap what you sow... but it's the children paying the price for all this absolutely vile ignorance and stupidity... especially when you consider the consequences of "liability". We are destroying ourselves!
I broke my foot trying out for the talent show in the fourth grade and the school nurse wouldn't call my mom. When she finally did she told my mom that I was faking an injury to get out of class. My mom told her that she was full of it. The nurse gave me a dirty look when I came back to school with a cast on.
I had the same with a splinter. My mum ended up coming to school Nd took me to hospital where they removed a 4cm splinter from old school boards that had gone up through my foot. This was in the 70's.
I got a call from the school nurse about my daughter. Nurse said daughter didn't feel good. Nurse said she thought she was faking it. When I get to the school my daughter is sitting outside in 40°f weather with a drizzle. As soon as she got in the car and I touched her head I knew she was feverish. Went straight to the Dr 's office. Temperature was 103° when we got there. Severe upper respiratory infection and strep throat. I took her home and called the school and asked to speak to the principal. I asked the principal what kind of idiot they had for a school nurse. I could tell she was sick as soon as I saw her. Nurse never checked temp. Principal tried to excuse the nurse by saying kids lie all the time to get out of class. I told the principal that if my kids need a mental health day (they just don't feel like going to school) I let them stay home. Why waste the teachers time or theirs. They had only missed 3 days the whole year prior to this. I really hate stupidity.
I remember playing rugby almost had my ear ripped of tore the lobe from side of face bout 10mm all the nurse done was put a plaster/band aid on it told me to go to next lesson as normal walked out of school took myself to the doctors the nurse there cleaned it properly and put paper stitches my mum went mental at the school
@@Mikyda3even if they assumed everyone did it. That’s exactly why you test it using empirical processes like measuring temperature. Only an idiot claims the other guy is lying, then refuses to find the really easy test to prove if the fever is real.
My wife is that lady bad ass. She saved someone from dying doing CPR until help arrived. Everyone was in awe. I have seen her save countless lives over the 27 years we ha e been together, never ceases to amaze and put me in check on how much of a bad ass she is and how fragile life is.
My wife is a NICU nurse and saves babies' lives on the regular. The stories she tells about these limp, blue babies and how she runs a code for them... It's amazing. I admire her to no end.
Wow the success rate of performing CPR is actually very rare...and your wife has done it multiple times that saved lives😂😂😂😂😂 she must literally be a miracle maker.... 5% of cpr is successful.
@@jesseduff3536 I don't know if you're talking to me or OP but he didn't say she's saved multiple lives using CPR, and I never said anything about CPR at all. You might also want to examine why you felt the need to reply the way you did. Maybe you're having a bad day. But maybe you're just not happy in your life overall. Either way you can make it better and this need you feel to drag other people down (before even reading and comprehending what's being said) can be overcome. Best of luck.
I was at work once when another employee stopped breathing. I and another associate immediately started performing first aid. I was trained and the other associate was a first aid instructor. The store manager appeared on scene and immediately told us to stop or we'd be terminated immediately. My coworker continued with the CPR and I told the manager to f off. When EMS showed up they told us had we not done anything or coworker likely wouldn't have survived. We both got written up and I (a supervisor at the time) was demoted because, "I failed to put the safety of the company first." Apparently they would have preferred to allow an employee die than risk him be injured by us. They had the nerve to tell me I wasn't dedicated and wasn't a team player when I quit.
Weirdly a Consultant Orthopedic Dr said x.rays showed bruising on my husbands neck and shoulder after construction site accident. I said No this is serious and I was told "don't be a silly girl its bruising"... 1 yr later I booked private appointment on my own construction site private medical policy.. told him it was my appointment. They did ct. Mri and in 10 minutes admitted him with 5 broken and destroyed vertebrae in his neck. 3 replaced and 2 repaired. He developed multiple sclerosis 14yrs later because of neurological damage to his spinal cord. The nhs (uk) Consultant was an international rugby player now dec. To be honest my husband nearly killed me but dropped dead before we got to court. I do look back and still wonder if i did the right thing at the time, but know I would have in my heart.
When i was working at a summer camp the older kids could go to the bathroom with the buddy system. While 2 kids went to the bathroom, 1 kid went into anaphylaxis. He had lots of allergies so we weren't sure what triggered it. The kid who was with him bolted into the gym, ran up to me and said "call 911" got the boys back pack and the epipen, injected him, and then comforted him. It was shocking. He saved that boy.
In my school we did a cpr lesson in PE class that lasted 2 days. I think there should be something taught about how to use EpiPens too cause clearly that could also save someone's life
I am that mother. I'm not a nurse, but I know my children. The nurse called me to say my 6yo daughter had fallen off the monkey bars. She was giving her an ice pack and sending her back to class. I heard my daughter crying through the phone and I KNEW it was bad. I told the nurse to check her collar bone for a bump. Yep. I said, "She has a broken collar bone. I'm taking her to the ER." One trip to the ER revealed 1 broken collar bone and 3 cracked ribs. The RN was going to give her an ice pack and send her back to class. I was ANGRY. Edit: I was told she fell on her shoulder. That was my 1st clue. Then, I heard her crying. That was my 2nd clue. Most moms can tell why their kids are crying (hungry, angry, sad, tired, injured, etc). It's quite common. It's not anything magical, it's just part of being a mom. Also, my brother had a similar accident when we were kids. That was my 3rd clue. Again, nothing crazy or implausible. It's easily explained. If you're a mom, you know what I'm talking about.
She should have been fired. Protocal for a fall is immediately calling an ambulance, stabilizing the patient incace of head or neck injuries and transporting to a hospital for further examination. An ice pack and return to class? I hope you fiked a report on it.
@@David-yo5re I pitched a fit to the principal and threatened to go to the school board. I don't know what happened beyond that, but I don't remember ever seeing her in the office again. Maybe she was fired or just hiding when she saw my car pull up. Maybe she got transferred.... IDK. What I do know is that the RN at her current school is great. Very professional and knows his stuff.
I fell off the monkey bars in 5th grade, nurse said I was fine and wanted to send me to class. I had 2 broken ribs that ended up healing crooked on their own.
My sister had a teeter totter slammed down on her back in 4th or 5th grade and the school never told my mom. The only reason she found out is my sister told her. My mom told off the school and they were scared of my family ever since lol. My sister still has back issues as an adult and has to go to the doctor and chiropractor regularly because of lasting issues from a possibly broken back that was never fixed because they didn't tell my parents about it.
I was in high school when my "nurse event" happened. I was roughly 15 at the time, had my cycle for 4 years by then. Went to the nurse with horrible pain, nausea, and tender abdomen. I was about a week off my normal cycle schedule. Nurse said I was overreacting to get out of class, gave me a pad, and tried to send me back. Called my mom, who has paramedic certification, picked me up to take me to the ER. Not even halfway there, I passed out in the car. To put it simply : I have PCOS. Meaning I have cysts on my ovaries. My cycle came early and a Rouge cramp caused one to burst. It started hurting so bad because it got infected sometime during the day and I developed sepsis. I passed out in the car bc I was going into Septic shock. I genuinely don't know what would've happened if I hadn't called my mom. Considering most school nurses can't even treat a scraped knee, God knows how they'd react to Septic shock 😅
As a certified medical assistant working in a clinic, hearing this makes me want to work as a school nurse instead of a damn clinic. I remember when I was in elementary school I’m 33 now we had real nurses in school, I vividly remember even being able to get vaccinated in school if we were missing any vaccines. The government must be getting cheap because I went to public school. So they must not want to pay someone that’s certified because it would cost more than to pay someone that isnt
@BossLadiie82808 Yeah, it did go cheap. Some schools (like in the video) don't carry epipens due to budget cuts, some aren't allowed to carry medication for the children (not even prescribed inhalers or insulin). By far, the worst I've seen was an AED. My dad worked at an elementary school after retiring from being a fire fighter. I don't recall the full story, but it was something along the lines of a 4-5 year old choking during naptime and wasn't discovered for at least 10 minutes. By the time my dad got there, the teachers had realized that the AED was not only 15+ years old but flat out wouldn't turn on. Meaning no one had checked it in years. Kid lived, thank God. But man did that school have a lawsuit
I had similar. We were in a big exam block when it happened and I was ignored as we weren’t allowed to leave our seats or ask questions. Ended up eventually getting taken out in a wheelchair, and then afterwards doc discovered I had pcos.
1) Yikes. My bestie has PCOS. She’s on birth control to keep that and her horrid periods in check. Nightmarish for her otherwise. 2) …I’m sorry, how did a cramp rupture one? 3) I’ll ask you something I asked her, specifically, rate the accuracy of the following statement: “it is normal for periods to be uncomfortable. It is abnormal/worrying for periods to be outright painful.”
My sister's daughter died in school because of an incompetent head teacher and all teachers. Her friends tried to rescue even calling their parents to come to school to help their friend. The school called my sister instead of an ambulance; two hospitals very near the school. She died on the ground with no adult helping her. Years later my sister still lives with the pain - Loretto Convent Valley Road, Nairobi, Kenya 🇰🇪. We will never forget 💔
With Nairobi Hospital a literal walking distance from there, and Coptic a 10 minute ride away, that is a truly epic level of incompetence. My deepest condolences for your loss.
When I was in grade four, we had an rn come into our class and teach us not only what an epipen was but why and how to use it. He also taught us how to recognize anaphylaxis vs a regular allergic reaction. All the kids with epipens made sure not only their teacher, but their friends knew what it was, how to use it and where to find it. There were also spare epipens in both the front office and the nurse's office. Epipens are one of two medications you can administer without a license and being fully legally protected. (The other being Noloxone for opiate overdoses.) I am an everyday person with no medical training beyond First Aid. It amazes me that there are still so many people who don't know the things I just mentioned. Edited because dyslexia.
@@LadyVineXIII no problem. My baby brother is dyslexic, I’ve got a lot of experience fixing transposed letters in various words. I figured it was worth fixing this one since it’s on the verge of being an OTC drug and for a few bucks it might be worth carrying a couple of dispensers around just in case you come across a fresh overdose that could be saved. That’s my plan anyway.
@@rickb2432 I have one in my bag and another I can pop into my bags. Definitely worth carrying as they don't expire for three years and are quite inexpensive. Best case scenario, I can trade them in for new ones when they expire. Worst case scenario, I have them when I need them.
In Virginia, about 15 years ago, a girl went into anaphylactic shock after eating something. The family was unaware of her food allergies. She did not have a personal epi-pen. Despite the fact that there was a cabinet full of epi-pens for other children. The nurse was not allowed to use any for her. The only person who could administer the epi-pen was the school nurse. All of this wasted precious time and I believe the girl was dead before EMS got there. Virginians were horrified and incredulous. They demanded change immediately. I don’t remember any legislative matter speeding through the approval process like this. The next year all adults at all Virginia schools were required to learn how to administer epi-pens. Epi-pens were provided at all Nurse’s offices. I think they also have in classrooms (but I’m not sure.) I hate that a child had to die to enact lifesaving change, but at least other children are being saved because of what happened to her.
What sucks even more is if the nurse had administered another student’s epi-pen then they could go to jail or would definitely lose their license. And epi-pens expire so quickly and cost a small fortune for families. In Washington they are trying to save families money by having epi-pens in every school, which I hope happens.
@@ottercaiyep giving out someone else epi pen could be viewed as giving out narcotics depending on how terrible it he states wants to be because they are prescription medication in the US. Drive over the boarder to say Canada say and they are an order of magnitude cheaper and an over the counter medication.
We have a school based epi pen for emergencies in Virginia that is available for such cases now due to the incident you describe. Depending on the school, we have the epi jr and epi pen. Also, we are legally required to call 911 after administering it IRL (I know, tv does it differently) because of the rebound effect.
@@ottercaicurrently the evidence out there shows that an EpiPen maintains it's effectiveness for around 2 years after it's expiration date. Not saying not to get new ones when they expire, just that it's probably not a terrible idea to keep the recently expired ones, just in case.
This incident is very close to my heart, a girl in my hostel next door was writhing in pain and the doctor/Nurse present told her it was menstrual pain. My gut feeling told me that there was something wrong, not because I was boastful but becuse I was in and out of hospital 3/4 of my life to recognize this. Her roommate and me rushed her to ER ignoring the hostel doctor and I was right. She had acute appendicitis so dilated it was going to burst and poison her organs or so I was told. I was a minor so I cannot be her guardian and I had to fight with the hospital to admit her while her parents flew in town. They did the operation and her mother reached just after the surgery. She hugged me and said I saved her daughters life. The head of ER met me in hallway and said he had never felt so intimidated by a 17 year old in his hospital and that my parents should be super proud of me.
Good for you sweetie. Dr's are often wrong when new medical advances arrive so quickly. Problem is they go for the 'normal cause first as its cheapest treatment'. With 2 serious rare disorders myself, that is very difficult. A test was conducted at local hospital to save me 25 mile journey. Instead of passing results to my consultant, they said "I had munchausen as my condition is rare". When the idiot Consultant and 7 smirking Dr's he asked "who told you that you had cysteine urea Dear as its rare" (I was 59) Coldly replied "professor Gerry Coles 1974, and current Consultants details"... then showed the huge 14 inch multiple scars and said 'if this is munchausen, I'm a clever one removing 1/2 my right kidney age 14!" It WAS BRILLIANT SEEING 8 DR'S JAWS HIT THE DESK! BUT I refused to move from the hospital Ive been under for 49 yrs 🤣 Stay polite but stand your ground as you know your own body best❤️
A burst appendix does NOT 'poison your organs". Geesh. It's called PERITONITIS, an infection that can spread to your bloodstream. Use the CORRECT TERMINOLOGY!
My school is currently being sued. A student had frequent seizures. The school refuse to let her opt out of swim class. She had reportedly talked to the nurse before that class saying she felt really bad and thought an episode was coming. The nurse sent her to class anyways and she downed in the pool. She wasn’t found for I believe half an hour. No one has been fired. The lawsuit isn’t over. This happened about a year ago EDIT WHITELAND HIGH SCHOOL DROWNING In Clark pleasant school corp. I Can’t say more cause AI keeps saying şpám
@@VJK102 our teacher lets us get out “in our own time”. Meaning as long as you at your next class in regular clothes by the bell you can get out whenever. So I assume she was last out. Thing was I thought the teacher checked after class (but yes she was unsupervised. The teacher was supposed to be the lifeguard)
My son's school insisted that any and all medications were to be left in the nurses office, yet the nurse never seemed to be on campus for any type of emergency,, or even when our kids were ill. I have the school a prescription bottle filled with sugar tablets and hid the real medicine in my kid's backpack and made sure the best friend knew where it was and how to use it.
My mom did this too. She always made me keep an extra epipen and meds in my backpack bc if shit went down there was now way for the nurse to be notified and get to the classroom to save me.
Smart. I started carrying Advil/ pain reliever for cramps & headaches in middle school. Gave a couple to my friends when they needed it too. I never got in trouble for it. Got in trouble for gum in math class all the time, though. 😅
My school was the same way. I couldn’t keep my inhaler on me and would have to walk to the nurse office during an attack. I got to keep my inhaler after I passed out on the way to the office & end up in the hospital for a week.
I was that mother with a child who had severe asthma in high school. He had at least three serious asthma attacks at school that the nurse told him he was fine and just trying to stay out of class. He was wheezing, pale, vomiting unable to stop coughing or catch his breath. She told me his pulse ox was 90 so he was fine. I explained to her so many times that the pulse ox does not measure his airway restriction. Each time I picked him up and rushed him to either the emergency room or to his doctor. Each time his small airways were close to collapsing all together. The scariest event was when his small airways were down to 38% of normal and his large airways we're at 60%. If she had called me at the beginning of the attack we could have caught it, treated it, and had him back to class in a couple of hours. Instead he had to be at home for a week on oxygen and round the clock nebulizer treatments along with massive doses of steroid. I explained to her so many times the pulse ox does not measure the reaction of the airways in a kid with asthma. I never could drum that through her thick skull. My kid almost died three times under her care. After that I would just have him call or text me directly whenever he was having trouble. His pulmonologist arranged for a nebulizer to be at the school along with a rescue medication to go through it. She provided detailed information explaining exactly how serious these occurrences word and how they needed to be treated urgently each and every time. He had a green light to go at any time and use his nebulizer whether the school nurse thought it was necessary or not. We only had two major occurrences after that for the whole of his high school years. Sometimes "educated" people are some of the dumbest people.
@@whatsthesong4295 if only. They demanded doctors notes and harassed me for the time he missed DUE TO THEIR OWN NEGLIGENCE. Sheesh. So glad all of that's over!
I agree, it's more of common sense, and I think just cus your educated, doesn't mean you know about medical stuff, information, , there's. A different kinds of smarts, book smart, street smart, and common sense smart, anyone can be capable of learning , but they have to want to learn, you can't fix the ignorant, no offense!
My mom is an RN. One time, a kid stole my phone and prank called my mom telling her I was drunk. I got called down to the nurses office and was met with my principal, nurse & guidance counselor (who I literally never even met until this). My parents came and the counselor was adamant that I smelled like alcohol and was slurring and clearly appeared to be drunk and insisted I go a hospital to be detoxed immediately. My mother asked her what qualifications does she have to determine that I was drunk? And she just stood there, my mom then said ‘I’m an RN of 15 years. My daughter is not drunk’ she then demanded I got a new counselor for the rest of my years and the principal didn’t even hesitate to do just that lol
@@chitoflores9607 because my mother called the school to see where I was and who I was with and told administration that I was calling her telling her I was drunk. I got called down to the nurses office.
What was actually wrong then? Was there any kind of abnormality in your presentation? I don’t understand how someone could be adamant about this in front of people who can clearly see how you speak, walk and smell.
I have a bee sting allergy. It's pretty bad, but i don't need an epi pen or anything just from one sting, but if i don't get some benadryl within the 1st 30-45 minutes afterwards, I get a lot of swelling and tenderness and it takes a LONG time to go away. In 9th grade, i was stung at lunchtime, so I went into the nurse's office just to let them know...I lived right across the street from our school. She said she didn't have me on the list..."what list?" "The same list we make EVERY year of students with bee sting allergies. You parents were supposed to come to the nurse's station at back to school night to add your name and action plan." ..."Yeah, we weren't here for back to school night, we just moved into the district 6 weeks ago. Don't you remember? You made me wait to start classes until I could take a TB test, even though the health department only does those at the beginning of the month, so i had to wait 2 extra weeks to start?...you gave us forms about medications but nothing about bee stings." "Well, if you have an allergy, why didn't your mother ask for you to be put on the list? We could have made an exception to the deadline." ..."because...? Couldn't you just call her?" "I'll have to speak with the principal. " she comes back 5 minutes later, my arm is 3 times its normal size, "What did you do to your arm?!?!?!" 🙄
Not to be contrary but, it kinda sounds like you need to carry an Epi pen. Perhaps more than one. I've been stung in the face before and it was not good.
@chrisbolhuis297 right? And it was like she was very bureaucratic...her attitude was "well, how could you possibly have a health problem? There is no form on file notifying the school of your intention to have a health problem, so therefore you must be mistaken. "
Back when I was in school, we weren't allowed to carry any medications as students, including things like epipens, inhalers, even insulin, but also the nurse wasn't 'allowed' to administer any of it as it could be a liability. So if a student was having an emergency, not only would they have to hobble all the way to the nurse's office and get their medication, but also be able to take it themselves, even in the middle of an episode. My mom said ef that, sent me to school with any medication I needed hidden in my unused pencil case.
It was a rule a decade ago at my old school. One kid would carry his diabetes pack cause he had a hard time keeping his diabetes in check and had several severe episodes. Even then we had teachers complain. One time he did what he needed to do to check and pulled out an orange and the teacher freaked out on him. Us students had to explain diabetes to her.
One that sounds 100% fake two that's against the laws put in protact kids in many countries even back then. The laws were passed for the us it was 1940's other country's it in the early 1900's 😊.
My school had the same rules, pretty sure I got in told off for cough drops in elementary school. Come high school I kept Tylenol in a hard candy container and basically just said fuck it w my inhaler and kept it in my bags side pocket, they were required to be clear or mesh anyway and it was easier to access, especially if I needed someone else to get it. Think the most I got the was a letter home about keeping all meds at the nurses office, the nurse who was split between 2 separate schools. Come to think of it my school liked there letters lol, I also got one that threatened to call child and family services bc of my absences (I think 25 days and it was already in the 4th or final quarter of the year, so less that 45 class days left) like that’s what happens when you have undiagnosed asthma for 17 years of your life, my immune system sucks ass. My friend got the same letter and he parents were pissed tf off. Now I’m thinking about weird or dumb shit from elementary lol (k-5), like how I was constantly getting sent to the nurse bc I’d get some mud on my pants at recess, which I don’t think was that common cause I was always the only one there, or that one time I got called out of class to the office, who told me to go to the nurse, who told me to go to guidance (rooms were connected) bc apparently my tits were to big and they wanted me to wear a bra or hoodie :/ bc I guess someone was eyeing you all the 10 year olds chests bc that is totally not creepy
I'm seriously grateful for our school nurse. She NEVER neglected any injuries, sometimes she'd even let you nap if you were feeling overwhelmed. Now I see how great she was
Or school nurse was a ….. yeah …always, she had her favourites and would let them nap. Meanwhile, I’m at school post surgery and every time I went in for my Tylenol or Advil she had a snide comment and called my dad (vice principal) who would come in and berate me 🙄 Buuuuut… my brother had a car accident and hit one of her trees in her yard. 😂 I was tickled but boy did I hide it (tree had to be cut down lol
I liked my school nurse and teachers, every time I had a gran mal seizure, they would be there for me after I come out of it and wait with me until the EMT and my parents came. Then off to the hospital again. Happened often.
My daughter broke her wrist the school nurse said she was fine, I at the time a CNA could see it was broken. Promptly took my daughter from school to hospital, as I was leaving the school said they were calling SRS/DHS on me, told them that's awesome we'll be @ the hospital. That's been 16 ish yrs ago, I'm still waiting on SRS/DHS.
Maybe you're on a waiting list since they are attending other bullshit complaints and getting grilled by parents and then having to grill the school officials about their dumbass incompetence. Keep us posted 😔
something kinda like this happened at my school. i showed up, i was sick, pale, and felt like i couldn’t breathe. i had a headache and everything. my boyfriend at the time had to let me lean on him because my body ached to walk. when i got to the nurses office, she tested me for covid and asked about my symptoms. i didn’t have covid, and i told her my symptoms too. she didn’t believe me, called my mom saying she doesn’t think i’m sick and emphasized that i don’t have covid. my mom had to check her and basically said that covid isn’t the only illness there is, put me on the phone, and got me picked up. hate that woman to this day.
I’ve had to do this AS A TEENAGER!!! It just blew my mind when a fellow student was having an asthma attack in my chorus class and couldn’t walk, the nurses station was just AROUND THE CORNER, and they refused to leave cause they were dealing with an issue in the office. They had 3 nurses and not 1 of them could come and give this girl her inhaler 🤦🏽♀️. They told my teacher to have her “Wait”. …. IKR you can’t breathe and being told by medical professionals to hold on for oxygen 😂. There was 3 other people in my class that had asthma including myself that had inhalers, but I was the ONLY ONE willing to let her use mine😳. I don’t get people. I really don’t. Everyone kept saying, “ you’re not supposed to share medication.” True. But you’re morally not supposed to watch someone just DIE right in front of you either 🤦🏽♀️. I gave her my unopened bottle of water and rubbed her back while coaching her breathing. She thanked me for this. And when the nurse finally decided to show up 30 MINUTES LATER, I told her to F&*#! OFF. Got suspended for that. Worth it😏.
They didn’t suspend you for telling the nurse to fuck off; they suspended you for proving there were three nurses on staff that were not competent enough to do their jobs, a job so easy one of the students was able to do it…..
No one knew how to care for my brother when he'd have a seizure. They'd sit him in a chair, no no because of a risk of falling. They stick things in his mouth, definitely a no no, dangerous for him and them, lay him flat NO! If he throws up as is common during a seizure, he'll asperate and cause serious lung issues. It was a miracle he made it out alive.
The closed caption said tofu But the guy's name that she mentioned was Topher. Like the guy who played the character Eric Foreman on That 70's Show. Topher Grace.
@@SvanhildrG That's a shame I didn't really want to watch the show just wanted to see what happens next in this scene or if it just end here. Can't find the scene on TH-cam aside from this video.
I had a nurse experience like this too. I'm kind of sad by how many stories are in the comments of stuff like this happening. It happened to me in third grade. I was in after school care, and I ran into another kid. I had managed to get a horse shoe fracture an inch below the growth plate on the Tibia of my right leg. They tried to make me walk on it to get back to the cafeteria from the gym, and when I started screaming and crying collapsed on the floor, one of the much older teachers decided to carry me back. Then they called my parents and told them. I had a bruise and was fine and acting up. I was left crying at a lunch table for 3 and a 1/2 hours. Once my mom got there , she took one look at my leg, and she could feel the bone moving in and out of place, so she screamed at them and took me to the hospital. The worst part, though, is they told all of the kids that were in the after-school program with me that I was faking it for attention. So when I came back to school with a cast from my hip to my toes, the students bullied me relentlessly for 8+ weeks. The school couldn't really do anything to stop it because they were the ones who told all the students that I was faking it. So they would have had to have the teachers admit to lying/being wrong, which they weren't gonna do.
Actually i watched the whole season 1 and its just a poor people wet dream of how millionaires are... Its not that good. Its not bad, but not good either
My son went into anaphylaxis last fall (at home, bee sting). After hospital visit, brought epipens to school. Nurse was VERY COMPETENT & thorough. Patiently answered all my questions. My son undergoes Allergen Therapy. Thankfully, we can afford it, but many families would not be able to. It's expensive.
None of my family have allergies like this. I tried giving him benadryl first, only found out later it doesn't do sh÷t. Called on-call Dr, rushed him to ER. He was okay. He'd had hives, redness, coughing & puked. But that was from ONE wasp sting. He'd been stung before with no reactions. My FiL has a massive allergy to shellfish, should hold an epipen, but he won't 😒 So I'd had my eye out for FOOD allergies, not wasps ...
What is allergen therapy? And how does one get this? Would you just ask the pediatrician? And if you don’t mind me asking what is the price per dose? We currently do “allergy shots” and honestly I do not think they are doing anything and for what we pay per shot quiet frankly I would like another option for her because I am scared one day this exact thing is going to happen and no one will be around to help.
Broke my arm at school in second grade. The nurse gave me an i e pack and sent me to gym to do pushups. They ALWAYS thought we were faking in the 90’s and 00’s😊
Broke my arm in first grade, and they never called my parents. My mom was furious when she found out I went through a whole day of school with a broken arm; had to write with it and everything.
Did they? …hm. I guess the only times I landed in the nurse’s office may have been when I threw up and was waiting for my mom. At which point it’s obvious and just a matter of “lie down, here’s a trashcan, and wait.”
Remember in 9th grade, was out for a smoke with a friend before going to bed, maybe 150-200m from my home. (yeah so sneaky😂) Was dark and tripped on something, and twisted my foot so badly my friend had to help me home. Still in pain the next morning I told my pairents I couldn't go to scjool cause my foot hurt. Thinking I was faking it they said ok lets go to the ER then. Gladly went in with my mom, but she had to go to work so my dad went to pick me up when I was "done".. He got there just as the doc sait my foot wasn't twisted or sprained, my dad popping a quick "we knew it" then doc finish talking.. "it's broken" 😂 Best part, when my dad called to tell my mom she started laughing hysterically. Her co-worker she shared the office with did manage to figure out that she was dying of laughter cause I had broken my leg. In her defence that was my 3rd fracture in 1½ year 🙈
Near exact same thing happened to me, but another student broke their arm the same day so the nurse was like "two students can't both have broken their arms on the same day, you just want attention".
Ugh, I wish more schools still used licensed nurses. The quality has downgraded so much over the years. I just experienced that this week! My daughter was sent to the school nurse and she as given an ice pack after she was hit in the wrist in gym class. My daughter called me on her cell and I dropped everything to pick her up. Turns out she fractured her wrist in 2 places and she was given an ice pack and sent back to class. I called the school livid and to understand the disconnect more; the school nurse replies “well, she didn’t look like she was in a lot of pain and besides she shouldn’t be using her cell phone in school”. 🙄 ridiculous. I had no words at how she tried to shift the conversation from her actions (and being accountable) to my daughter calling me. I just asked they call me the next time my child goes to their office smh
Soooo you are bothered by a child using their cell in school to call a parent because of the lack of care they were getting in school. It's kind of missing the whole point.
A school nurse should know every child's face and name on campus that carries an EpiPen. There should be zero guessing about it in emergency situations.
I went to my high school nurse for the first time in my senior year. For 3 straight days. I couldn't breathe. She kept saying I'm fine, just fat. 3rd day, a different nurse saw me and did a double-take. She called 911 because i was turning blue. I developed asthma out of nowhere. When EMS got there, they gave me oxygen and some other stuff and asked how long I had been like this. I told them. The nurse that sent me away for three days got fired and now my lips still have a blue/purple tint. My asthma is mostly controlled and i rarely get that bad. But damn. I felt like i was dying. 😢
I went to the nurse with searing headaches every day for weeks. She called my mom and told her I was lying to get out of class. Turns out, i needed glasses. The headaches went away once i got my prescription
We had a senior that kept going to the nurse for headaches. It went on for some time at the end of the year. He died of a brain aneurysm 10 to 15 minutes after graduation ended.
It's standard protocol these days for staff in Australia to be trained yearly on how to use an epipen and to be aware of students in their class with medical conditions.
@melanieandalyiah1003 It's standard in the US too, at least in my state. I have no idea what that show is going on about. Every single adult in my school would be prepared to administer an epi if needed.
@@ashleyder9164some districts and states have liability laws that don’t allow school nurses to administer certain types of medication and sometimes the epi pens are on that list
The “Rich Lady” back talk already had her fired btw.. it’s not about the status of the child’s family, it’s the child’s life we’re talking bout.. Pack your bags and the guy next to her by not reprimanding the nurse..
In seventh grade I was having really bad stomach pain and went to the nurse three times and she said that there was nothing she could do and wouldn't call my parents because they were at work and I shouldn't bug them with such things when I'm supposed to be learning. About an hour later my science teacher decided to call my mom because I was as white as a sheet and covered in sweat. My aunt picked me up from school until my mom could get there and then she took me to the doctor. A few hours later the doctor frantically called telling us to get to the hospital. Turns out my appendix was about to burst if I was an hour later. This is the same nurse that told my sister that she couldn't have her medication (she has celiacs and accidentally ate gluten) because she didn't need it and she was faking. She still has her job😢
That sucks, I have celiacs… it’s no joke when you get glutened. I’m in fetal position for 3-4 hours in pain and foggy. I definitely can’t drive with that amount of pain in my belly.
@@PokeMageTechit’s not emergency medication per se it’s just medicine that helps with the excruciating pain that can be brought on by eating gluten. It’s the worst and the medicine truly helps.
In elementary school, I wasnt allowed to carry my inhaler. The amount of times I ended up in the hospital because the school wouldnt let me carry my inhaler was insane
@@6ftfemme725 My kid's school "forgot" to send her inhaler with the teachers on the class end-of-year outing. (The nurse was supposed to have been given a list of students on the trip so she could send all the meds kept in her office for them.) I had to leave work and pick her up from the hospital an hour away. (And they never covered the bill.) The next year, they refused to let her go unless there was an adult with her to carry her inhaler for her (this was middle school!) So my mother had a nice outing to a regional amusement park, completely paid for by the school, and she didn't have to even act as a chaperone for anyone else. And of course my kid didn't need the inhaler that trip.... And given how much that nurse loathed me and my kid I have to wonder if she "forgot" on purpose.
I worked in pediatrics for a while, I had one little boy come in that wasn’t able to catch his breath. I had to give him 2 breathing treatments and he still sounded like a goat ( no offense ) then the doctor went in with him. WHY didn’t his Mom take him to the ER is beyond me? We were very close to 3 hospitals.
@@philliptrotter9660 I agree, if someone is going to put a clip from a TV show they should put the season and episode with it. The clip seemed interesting, but I didn't know what it was from. For all I knew it could have been from a movie.
Absolutely an awesome show. I loved her character in it. Sad when her and Axe (he's one of 2 main characters, not her) broke up. But she was a 'ride or die' wife. And fine too!!
When I was 3 or 4, I was at church in my school, and i slipped off the wooden benches and hit my head on the one in front of me. The teacher refused to let me leave church to see the school nurse. My head was bleeding, and I was really dizzy. When I finally got to the school nurse, he told me to stop crying because it wasn't that bad. That memory stuck with me forever because it hurt so much.
My public school was TINY, biggest class was 20 strong and we were all mostly lower-middle class farming families. We had a public nurse on hand, and even if she wasn't available on the rare day, there were First Responders in the school that served as Teacher's Aides. The hell is this place's excuse?
This is a TV show, and it's not realistic. When I taught public school, we had designated first responders trained in First Aid and CPR, and the classes for those were offered for free at the school. So if the nurse was out, we still had someone available for emergencies.
I had really bad period cramps during high school (later found out I had PCOS and Endo) but I’d go to the nurse in so much pain and nauseated to lay down and she’d let me lay there for 10 minutes or so, no heating pad or anything. Then she’d send me back to class. No exceptions, no call home, nothing. I also had horrible migraines, bad enough that I couldn’t be in the classrooms or around loud sounds so I had to go lay in the dark, ibuprofen didn’t help (it was the only medication I was cleared to carry myself). She told me to lay down in the dark, take ibuprofen. These migraines could last hours. Every 10 minutes she’d open the door, shining bright light from out in the main nurses office on me and go “how are you feeling?” And NO she wasn’t quiet about it. I’d also have to almost be in tears for her to let me call home. Not as bad as some of the stories on here but she wasn’t a competent nurse, even if she was licensed. She also had absolutely no bedside manner or empathy. When I was graduated, I figured out all these things that were happening like the PCOS and Endo and chronic migraines but it was a bit too late for it to make a difference at school.
My sister wasn't allowed to keep her inhaler on her when we were in school. She had an attack and I had to run across campus and almost had to fight the "nurse" to get it and run it back to my sister. Years later I still get worked up thinking about it. That shit was scary she was starting to turn blue. And yes I did end up getting on campus suspension for insubordination, which my mom raised holy hell about.
@@Badpoison1I completely understand. if I was in your situation I wouldn’t trust anyone but myself to get my sibling their medication. Adrenaline would definitely make you run faster than anyone else during that event. Also don’t worry about stupid people in the comments. They obviously don’t have any real experience with medical emergencies to try and shame you for what you said as a scared minor.
Unfortunately, I had to have a talk with a school nurse about her administering medication to a child who was having 104°F fever and she said she was legally not allowed to even if it's a prescription unless the doctor signed a note ahead of time with the prescription to allow her to administer. The best the school nurses can do now, is to send kids to the ER of the situation worsens. Thats the reality. School nurses have their hands, neck, and knowledge tied up by what they are legally allowed pr not allowed to do with thier licensure ln the line. What I'm not sure about is how the Good Samaritan law would come into play if someone else takes action under an emergency, which this situation is.
@@Mikyda3 I was a little concerned as well but I did my research and for children up to a certain age, because their body temperature is higher than adults, their fevers register higher as well, and 104°F is the cut off and is normal. However, as the school nurse explained to me, the moment the fever registers as even slightly higher than that, it will be instant trip to ER. The mother explained the child only seemed mildly sick so he was sent to school while the parents had to do an emergency trip to a Pennsylvania to visit relatives. They rushed back as soon as I called and told them.
That's bullshit. My kids were not actively sick but had some lingering cough, and I sent in medicine to be given and had no problems. No doctors note, no special paperwork. Should not endanger or inconvenience your child for lazy people. When you have competent people working in a school setting, you have peace of mind.
So why pay for a school nurse if they can’t even give a prescribed medication to a child. Instructions are on the bottle. If it’s because they don’t know if the child already had a dose of whatever medication it is, they can call the parents to verify.
@staceyjohnson4436 Sometimes a school can't interfere with any medical conditions that can also affect the schools reputation and if the school does help but mess up like her in the vid then the school would be responsible for the kid other than the kid or their parents being responsible for themselves and therefore can be sued or popularity decreases.
@@falltuneu9563 Oh nonsense, how much more trouble would the school be in if they let the kid die?! Besides that you have public schools that are allowed to shuffle a young pregnant girl, offer an abortion, without even telling the parents!
I had a heart stroke in high school. The school nurse was busy picking out color swatches for her office redo to help a poor kid who was passed out in the bathroom and couldn't feel her legs, so I was given a mountain dew and a nap. No one took me to the hospital. No one called anyone, including my parents. I still have trouble with dehydration and trying to handle heat.
Sad part is I've seen doctors that are even more incompetent than that school nurse. Had one try to order me to give blood thinner to a man having a stroke. Long story short, the man had just been released from a hosp after having stents placed for a LDA MI (heart attack in the most critical artery in the heart). He came home and began having chest pain again. The Medic tried to take him back to the hospital where he had the stents placed but the family intervened and demanded he be taken to the local ER that had no cath lab. The family even called his medical control and complained and the doc insisted they take him to the local, even after the medic explained he was having another MI and proved it with the 12 lead. I was called, shocker here, transport him emergently back to where he had the stents placed, almost 2 hours away. It turns out the ER had given him 2 doses of TPA after he had already been taken coumadin(serious blood thiner). I walk in and without talking to him, spot the hemorrhagic stroke. I do an evaluation and report it to the ER doc who is freaking out. He tells me to give him nitro and another dose of clot busters. I flat out tell him NO, he needs to be flown and have a CT while waiting on the helicopter to pinpoint the bleed. After the charge nurse, who agreed with me btw, and I both told him the same thing, he finally agreed to call a helicopter, but only after I flat out refused to transport him and the county EMS did the same after I talked with their director. The doc finally agreed to do the CT after the pt went unconscious. Shocker, he had a massive bleed in the rt occipital lobe, exactly where I told them it would be.
@@captainsinclair7954 I really wish it had been, unfortunately I can give dates and hospitals if needed, besides, a TV show loke House wouldn't have made a Paramedic or nurse be the one to try to stop a dumbass doctor.
My daughter is a diabetic and she carried a glucagon pen in case of emergencies and the school knew if she needed a shot and no one was there who could give her one they could ask her brother to come give it to her. One day the teacher refused to let my daughter have her snack because she was acting bad (she was acting bad BECAUSE she needed her snack and was having low blood sugars) the teacher then sent my daughter by herself to the principal's office because of her bad behavior and my daughter ended up falling down the steps because she passed out. By the time I got to the school she was in a diabetic coma. After we got out of the hospital, I removed both of my kids from the public school system and home schooled them. Best decision I ever made.
I had this issue with a tick... a teacher couldnt take the responsibilty of removing it from my child. By the time i arrived, the tick had started digging in. Another mom was incensed because she said that the tick hadn't penetrated the skin when they first called. Soooo dumb. Upon arriving, i removed it safely and did all the things. Other parents got mad because i did it myself instead of letting a nurse or doctor do it. Crazy times. All the rules and liability things to protect themselves, but in the meantime, a person can die without immediate care! (i dont mean my kid with the tick. But this allergy situation presented in this show)
When I was 11 I slipped on a pencil in the hall at school rolling my ankle bad. I was complaining for days to the school nurse and my mom who kept telling me I was fine and exaggerating. After about a week of me constantly complaining my mom finally took me to the Dr to get xrays. Part of my ankle and bones in my foot were fractured. At that point the only thing they could do was have me wear an air cast for a while. I'm now 36 and it's still messed up to this day. I haven't been able to run since from it being improperly healed.
I had something like this happen to me in 4th grade. Teacher told me to " stop milking it" when I collapsed at her feet after she made me RUN the mile. I have bad lungs and wasn't supposed to run long periods... The next thing I remember is being dragged to my feet as I gasped for breath, staggering with my arm over someone's shoulder. Hearing someone screaming for someone. then being scooped up and carried . My next coherent memory is of being able to breathe in the nurse's office and seeing the boy in my class who had bullied me since 1st grade sitting in his older brother's arms. As I understand it from hearing their mother and my mother screaming at our teacher. He'd reacted to my turning blue by trying to get me to the nurse's office. Caught sight of the high-school students changing classes, and screamed for his eldest brother who had carried me to the Nurse's office. This was in the 90s
I fully get what you're saying and 100% side with you and I'm not making excuses for the teacher but how did they make you run the mile? I always walked mine. They can't physically force you to run. You chose to oblige.
Let me put it to you this way, the private Christian school i attended started at 830 but mandatory worship started at 730. I was given a choice of connecting colleges and universities to attend in 6th, and firmly believed that they were my only options. I was made to believe that any bad grade I got from kindergarten upwards would affect my chances of getting in and behavioral misconduct would decrease my chances of being admitted. My school was an environment where men were allowed to wear watches and their wedding ring wearing any other jewelry was a ticket to hell. Women were allowed their wedding ring and what people would consider a base layer of make up. My skirt had to cover my ankles or be a specific length past the knee. My teachers could check the distance with a measure whenever they decided to. If you were late to class you had to go to the front desk and pay $2 dollars for the slip that allowed you into class. I don't remember the particular threat that made me comply in this case. But my school was strict and attached to a church that was also strict as hell and I was already socially isolated because I was already doomed to go to hell because I attended a different church that worshipped god on Sunday rather then Saturday. In short indoctrination and fear
Actually, thinking back on what I was taught in that school ( it was the best in our area) how long it took me to unlearn a lot of it and how my worldview is still affected by it to this day ... I wonder if my mother unknowingly enrolled me in a cult
@@itssammiesakran if you didn’t run in our school, or at least make a good faith effort to get under the timeline/time limit, they made you do it again every day and treated you like dirt and mocked you publicly. despite having fairly severe have asthma, I didn’t have an official you shouldn’t run diagnosis or document with the school, so it was a gray area for me. I had to do the same run a mile type test at a whole bunch of different levels in a different school settings. and if you can’t do the mile, they’re not allowed to put you on a varsity team, and we didn’t have any non-Varsity, gymnastics, so if you didn’t try to do the test, even walking half of it, it could really mess up your life as a student. One year I got seconds like two seconds under the maximum time limit and they were OK with that because they knew I was doing the best I could. The following year I was nearly a minute over, and one of the things they were adamant about was that everybody had to walk one more lap around the track after running to cool down. No sitting no collapsing on the lawn.. They were looking at their watch to see the time we’re starting to look up as they were telling me your time is 12:31 or something like that so you’re gonna need to go sit down now. They were in the process of telling me I was going to need to test again after some work, but they made me be flat and somebody ran and got me water and an ice pack and things to try to make me look a little less scary. They tried to practically carry me into the gym once I set up again. Thing is I was actually not as bad as I’ve been at other times, I just looked horrible. The water helped. They did not make me do it again. They did make me sit in the nurses office for an hour after gym class, but they didn’t have the ability to offer me a breathing treatment without me, declaring myself and severe distress and I wasn’t. I was tired, I was coughing a bit. I had used my inhaler, but that group in particular handled it about as well as anyone can, for someone who didn’t have the right kind of paperwork, this was late 90s, paperwork like that was newish, they did a phenomenal job at that school. When less than a decade later, I was teaching, we didn’t even have a school nurse most days of the week. And they had this lovely policy where you weren’t even allowed to carry your own inhaler on you so if you’re having an asthma attack, you need to run down to the nurses office to get It, but isn’t there, so person is locatable with a key to the nurses office so that they can hopefully find your inhaler out of a massive disorganized filing cabinet of students and hope it’s the right medication. But if you’re caught carrying your own inhaler even for asthma or EpiPen or, things that are an emergency response medication, you can be expelled for carrying drugs. Because apparently there’s distinction between emergency rescue medication and heroin. At least not according to the school. I don’t agree with, but understand not letting people carry their own Advil, or pills that you take at a certain time of day, but an emergency rescue medication doesn’t do much good if you can’t have it on you to rescue yourself.
@@itssammiesakrannot sure how old you are or where you went to school, in all the rural schools I went to in the early 80s, if you did not run that mile or do all those sit ups or any of the other ctap in gym class you could get a failing grade even if you have undiagnosed asthma or other breathing issues due to allergies and could not do even a 1/4 mile without feeling like your lungs were going to bust. It did not help that these requirements were not built up to throughout the year. My mom had was pissed off when she saw the D in gym. Most of the grade was based on these things I had no ability to do because I could not breath.
This is why I’m grateful my youngest child’s school still keeps an actual RN for their school nurse. She has aided in getting rescue for my child when she began her first seizures (also thankful for her teacher who had family with seizure disorder so she recognized the signs of one and when she was about to have one.) I also tend to not change my kids so they know if the school won’t reach me then they call as I will go to war for them any day.
My daughter came home from school back in the 80s. The minute she hit the door i knew she was sick. She had chicken pox. I reamed the teacher the next day. We had problems with this teacher before. My daughter brought home a paper with her sister's name circled in red. She had done a story about her. Kept telling her it was misspelled. I went in and corrected her. As no other words were misspelled why did she think that her own sister's name would be.
I had to stop carrying my lunch into my classroom due to a child's allergy to peanuts. (And yes, I basically just ate a peanut butter sandwich for lunch every day.) I had a training and kept an epi pen in my top drawer for this kid. At the end of the year party, I had to make sure NOTHING had nuts in it. His mom walks in with cookies that have nuts in them. I was shocked, turns out she lied. He didn't have an allergy to peanuts, he just coughed once, while eating a P&J sandwich, so thought he might have one. Sigh. I changed everything for this mom. I told the principal I didn't want ANY of the siblings, EVER. If memory serves there were like 6 of them.
Allergies .must be documented by a doctor and medication must be provided at school. Peanut/ tree nut allergies would be begin a school wide ban on peanuts and tree nuts.
I had a teacher claim I lied about my son’s nut allergies. He’s not allergic to peanuts. He is allergic to walnuts, pecans, almonds, and other tree nuts. Maybe Mom was being cautious. Maybe Mom lied. Most schools wouldn’t allow anyone to bring potential nut allergens to protect kids that know or don’t yet know about their allergies. What you did may have helped others.
@@lesliebowden5739 So until someone goes and pays a Dr to write a note, their child will be exposed to potentially lethal poisons (to them) while at school?
@Moosetick2002 We can't protect children unless we know how. A doctor must communicate a treatment plan. It is a liability for the school/ district if it is not documented. I have had parents tell me their child is allergic to something when, in fact, they just didn't like it. I have serious allergies and do not take those things lightly. I carry an epi-pen because I have anaphylaxis, which is life threatening. So yeah, the people who need to know, must know! My students know if I have a problem and cannot speak, my epi-pen is in my teacher bag and 2 students take it to my neighbor teacher to call for help. My team, students, and my family know my plan.
I've been a nurse for over 32 years. I have worked in so many different areas from oncology, to trauma surgical intensive Care unit, to many many other experiences. Sandwiched in the middle of my nursing journey, I was The school nurse for a kindergarten through 12th grade school system which had three separate buildings. I was employed in that position for 3 years. It was hands down the hardest job I've ever done as a nurse. You are the only medical person within an entire school system. Everyone expects you to know everything and to do everything related to not only the student's health needs but faculty health. I loved the students I was positioned to care for. I loved the faculty and made many friends within that school system. But the stress from that job literally was unparalleled to me. Even working in the trauma surgical intensive care unit in Detroit which was extreme stress was a close second to my school nurse job. Lol. I know I sound dramatic but truly when you are The one that everyone is looking to for the healthcare needs of precious little souls, you have the utmost obligation to care for them to the best of your ability that God has given you. And when you have no one there to back you up and many many expectations from scenes like this, to kids coming in with complex fractures from the playground, to kids infested with the most neglected situations of head lice, to children coming in and confiding terribly traumatic abuse situations to you... It is not a job for the lighthearted. I know there's a lot of jokes that are made regarding school nurses I've heard them all. But to me as a nurse, I know first hand that this is one of the most underrated and underpaid positions that a nurse could accept the responsibility for ever in their career. Hats off to all the school nurses. It's a very difficult job and we need good nurses to fill those positions. 💗💗💗🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
never had school nurses growing up, so i have no interesting story to share on the subject. just very appreciative of when a medical professional who knows their shit takes charge.
@@Denozo88 My wife is a school health clerk. The parents make her aware of problem with their kids. If this health clerk/nurse, in this fictional movie, did not know about the allergy and epi pen, that is on the parents. BTW, the kid wasn’t even aware of how to avoid eating the problem ingredients.
How are you not allowed to administer life saving medication in a school? I worked as a daycare teacher for 9 years. We weren't allowed to give our students motrin or tylenol to help with a fever for example. But we absolutely were allowed to give medication prescribed by a doctor as treatment for a condition (like say antibiotics for an ear infection or an inhaler for asthma). In our CPR training we also had to learn how to administer the EpiPen. Even with a school nurse on the premise, all teachers should be trained in this.
Literally ANYONE can use an epinpen. My daughter was 9 when she found me on our deck barely breathing with several bee stings. I carried an epipen in my gardening apron which was 10 feet away draped over a tree branch. She administered the shot then called 911. Easy peasy. ❤
This makes me so thankful for my daughter's school nurse. She's amazing! She actually listens to the student's complaints, communicates with parents, keeps up to date on students with allergies or illnesses and advocated for the health and wellbeing of the students. ❤
My brother's school called my mom after administering his epi-pen, and hadn't called the hospital until after she yelled at them. They refused to admit wrongdoing and almost got my brother killed. The nurse was yelled at by several members of my family and so was the school's principal. They now take extreme care with allergens.
My temperature has run lower all my life. Most people are 98.6. I run 97.3 and have for 40 years. So in junior high when I tried explaining to my school nurse that my 103 fever was life threatening she gave me Tylenol and told me go back to class. The school ended up paying for the ambulance when they had to be called.
Back in high school I stayed after school to refine a chemistry experiment. One of my fellow students (still unknown), got a syringe and sprayed about 20 cc of 100% hydrochloric acid on my jeans, then ran out of the class. It rapidly ate thru the denim and into my leg. The chemical shower was out of order, so I had to climb onto the lab table to use the lab faucet to wash my leg down. Went down to the office to see the school nurse only to discover that she kept only normal class hours - when the school end bell rings, she goes home. Ended up with a 1/2" x 1" 3rd degree chemical burn with a larger less serious injury area. Where was the chem teacher? Talking with another teacher two classes over. We were not using any hazardous chemicals that day (or that week for the matter). Whoever sprayed the acid on me premeditated it and got it out of the storage room. The chem teacher was totally pissed when he found out and chewed out the class the next day, threatening charges to whoever did it.
That's like the nurse at my college. Her office hours are 10 to 5. 10 to 4 on Fridays. I remember one day on campus a girl was having an asthma attack. Don't remember the full details, I think her inhaler wasn't helping her that's why she got carried to the nurse. It was after 5 in the evening. And the nurse wasn't in. Thats when I found out that she worked from 10 to 5, and that there werent other nurses who would be there on like a second shift. And the annoying thing about the nurse's hours is that she doesn't seem to be there 3/4 of the time. I've gone to try and see her several times over the past 4 years and she's only seen me three times.
"got a syringe and sprayed about 20 cc of 100% hydrochloric acid on my jeans,.. . It rapidly ate thru the denim and into my leg."-- Hydrocloric acid will not "rapidly" dissolve demin. It wont dissolve cotton but it could weaken them eventually. More likely it would soak into the material and contact your skin that way. I am not saying it didnt happen but... if I received third degree burns by an acid that rapidly dissolved my clothing I would definitely remember what it was, and it most certainly WASNT HCl. Everyone thinks HCl is the "most dangerous" acid because it is a "strong" acid with a 0 pH. That just means it fully dissociates in water. Thus usually when someone wants to make up an acid story about "dissolving" or "burning" they use HCl out of ignorance.
100% HCl ? I hope that is a typo. 100% hydrochloric acid is definitely a dangerous chemical, I’ve spilt a drop 10M HCl (31%) on my arm once and it itched like crazy, I had to run to a nearby sink to get it off and it still left a pink mark, I’m fairly certain that 100% HCl actually fumes hydrogen chloride gas. I flat out refuse to use anything above 10% HCl without full protection including arm length gloves and goggles
I had a cardiac event in gym just before my 18th birthday. Not only did we have a nurse on staff, but I was good friends with her. I can honestly say I might not be here if not for my classmates running to her office to get her and her keeping me stable until first responders showed up! I was in the critical care unit for a week!
This happens sadly all the time. When I was a kid, even after my mum had SEVERAL meetings with school administration about listening to me when I told them I felt sick, they continued to ignore me. One morning I was already dehydrated and having a mild allergic reaction, threw up repeatedly in the toilet and my teacher refused to send me home because I had "probably got it out of my system" Not only did she not send me home, she sent me out onto the field for sports that afternoon, on one of the hottest days of the year, made me run laps, then wouldn’t let me go back in to get my drink refilled because only one person could go back in at a time (she would always pick out someone else and send them in to refill before I got the chance). I threw up pure white foam in front of her and she still had to be convinced by another student to even let me go back inside, and then wouldn’t call my mum because it was "nearly the end of the day anyway" (it was an hour away from pickup; I slept for about 15 hours when I finally got home and needed three days off school to recover). She still works at that school to this day, meanwhile I have PTSD from that and other shit she put me through and can't cope with being the slightest bit warm because it puts me right back there 👍 Since it apparently needs saying, for the love of God, if you don’t like kids, DON'T BECOME A TEACHER
I had a teacher Mrs. Butler, who bullied me in 6th grade, 54 years ago. Pulled several types of crap like that. To this day I wonder if she’s still alive so I could look her up and let her know how her favoritism and nastiness she pulled on me stayed with me to this day. My mother had been on a state evaluation team and had reviewed this teachers classroom and ‘methods’. And Mrs. Butler took her displeasure of the report results out on me.
@evansmom3 yeah, I think unfortunately some teachers are just beyond petty like that. The teacher I referenced hated me because I interrupted her on the first day of school. She started class with a 'relaxed get to know each other' thing where you had to share a story about something that happened to you over the school break; I shared that my rabbit had died. She clearly didn't like that I chose something 'grim', and cut me off mid sentence to move on to the next person, I then interrupted her back to get out the literal three extra words I wanted to say, and I just saw a switch flip in her eyes. Can't describe it any other way, but I saw it happen, and she was utterly horrid to me and a few others that she didn't like for their own reasons. I just feel if you take things THAT personally just don't get a job entirely based around working with other people, especially people who are young and not always the most socially aware.

I was 25 weeks pregnant with my first child. I was spotting and felt very uncomfortable. I went to my ob’s office and got in with a different dr. She took one look at me and said I was fine and to take it easy for a few days. I went back less than a week later and was rushed to the hospital because I was in labor at 26 weeks. My dr was livid when she found out that I had been there a week prior and the dr I saw didn’t even touch me, just sent me on my way. I had an emergency C-section the next morning because he was breech and the umbilical cord was at hospital feet. My son’s lungs shouldn’t have been fully developed yet so they warned me that I probably wouldn’t hear him scream when he came out but he came out screaming. They said he had a 60% chance of survival. Someone was looking out for him because he didn’t have any issues at all, he just needed to gain weight. He was in the NICU for 2 months before he was able to come home. If that first Dr did her job, they may have been able to stop my labor and he could’ve stayed inside and kept cooking. I went to my ob for a check up after my pregnancy and found out that dr wasn’t with their practice anymore
Y’all ready for this, my parents are both teachers and they have the okay to administer epipen IF the child is in their classrooms having anaphylactic shock due to an allergic reaction. Mom has no license for it, but she has the paperwork for the child on what they’re allergic to and gets the okay from the guardian and school. Dad is a coach/teacher and he does yearly trainings like BLS and CPR. Honestly it’s all in the training the school provides for teachers and doing it on a yearly basis so they won’t EVER forget. THAT is what a school board needs to do. Cause this, this was absolute horseshit, no matter if it was a show or not cause this happens in real life.
In university at CW Post on Long Island in 2012-2013 the running joke was our school doctor would give you Claritin even if you went in for a broken leg. No joke he told me I just had allergies and gave me Claritin… 3 days later I was in an ambulance on the way to the ER because I hadn’t slept in days from pain and by this point couldn’t breathe… I had mono and tonsillitis and needed emergency surgery to get my tonsils out…
I used to tell my school nurse that i got super dizzy and she thought i was faking. I had a brain tumor bigger then a golf ball. I never thought about when she was replaced, but she never rold my parents of my complaints. The timeline adds up.
My youngest grandson was allergic to almost everything so I drove almost a 100 miles 5 days a week to watch him. No way leaving him with educated idiots in any daycare. He finally grew out of most of them but seeing a 3 month old go from normal To non-responsive in minutes was horrifying until they figured out he was allergic to everything but breast milk. He’s a teenager today! 😊
My son school nurse made him stay in school for one whole day after he broke his elbow and wrist playing football gave him an ice pack and send him back to class my son holding in the pain all day and couldn’t even hold on to his lunch tray. When I picked him up from school that day I was furious and drove my son straight to the ER. He had X-rays done and a cast put on that day. On Monday the following week I went in and caused a storm in the principals office.
When I used to work with kids we all took a training on how to identify a reaction and assist with Epi pens it was helpful and informative and all staff received the training
For those who might hear non-sense. Specially since the pandemic everyone has heard of pulse oxymeter. The range is not 0-100%. By the time you get to 60-70% its brain injury space. A seemingly healthy person who gets anywhere lower than 94% needs oxygen therapy. Confusion, delirium starts very soon in this space. People with COPD only can be at 88-92% because their body has been low on oxygen for DECADES so their body adjusted and now too much oxygen could stop them breathing. But anyone else whos body is not used to that? Dont let anyone ever tell you 90-92% is fine. EVER. You could be minutes away from a complete crash. The moment breathing deteriorates - a cardiac arrest is highly likely, one thing triggers another. Nurses are trained to understand AIRWAY, BREATHING, CIRCULATION. Because the moment airway os blocked, you die. The airway is partly blocked and breathing muscles engage? (Hospital - for the love of god dont drive them. an ambulance has oxygen, you need it. You dont know how long they had all muscles working on breathing, shoulders, back, that spends energy, the more exercise more oxygen you need so its a vicious cycle, so the body can deteriorate SO fast. Minutes. Specially if some egomaniac with a degree who hasnt kept up with their training hasnt called you to come get your kid until he cant even speak.)
It definitely is 0-100%. You ever seen a RSI in the ER when RT is fucking around and not paying attention after the doc gives the paralytic?…that SPO2 dropped to 33% real quick lol
This! so much this! It was so difficult for me to explain just how physically exhausting it was just trying to breathe during an asthma attack. And then feeling sore all over my upper torso afterward, like I had done a really intense gym workout and was sore. Lots of people don't understand it can be more than just wheezing sounds.
Sop in schools is when in doubt give the shot including narcan as well. In the end the possible harm for giving these emergency medication is is severely outweighed by the risk of them dying. All as an educator in az it is to my knowledge we are all trained to administer these to medications when needed and call 911
@@zachfreedom644quit cherry picking... yes there are some ppl that are allergic to narcan. But its rare and also not a severe reaction, even tylenol can kill some ppl if you want to split hairs.
My question us why didn't the 911 operator tell them to administer it since most 911 operators will walk you through emergency care if needed. Regardless administration of an epi pen requires a hospital visit
My first day of second grade right after the teacher explained what anaphylaxis was and asked if any of us kids had it. She gave us trail mix and I went into anaphylaxis but the teacher forgot in the 20 minutes span of break time she made that speech. Great thing my parents were already on the way to pick me up and going to the er for themselves. So I got admitted to the er as well 😂 and I lived and now get to carry 2 epipens everywhere I go
I can name two separate occasions 1. For context, i had unhealed fractures on my ankles, so I would sprain them easily. Anyway, sprained my ankle before school, was literally WHEELED to the nurse, crying in pain, and she wouldn’t call my mom or give me an ice pack, a bandage, or crutches. Sent me off to class after 3 periods passed. Showed up the next day with crutches and a brace. 2. I used to get these extremely painful stomachaches. I called my mom everyday to bring me medicine, because the nurse didn’t allow me to have medicine, because she thought I was faking. Turns out, after 6 years, my gallbladder had everything wrong with it, and I’m still figuring out why I’m getting infections in my stomach. Also, I used to wear a wrist brace a lot, because, apparently, I had an unhealed broken wrist and it caused a lot of pain. I had a cyst removed and went to therapy for it. Three times I went to therapy. Still am weak in my left hand and I get numbing and stinging pain. All I wanna say is fuck those two nurses who said I was lying.
If your ever in a situation where you need to administer an epi pent, remember this, blue to the sky, orange to the thigh. You wouldn't believe how many people have accidentally jabbed themselves with an epi pen.
True story: I was driving my truck through Williamsport, PA, about 25 years ago and saw a vehicle cross in front of me across traffic, hit the barrier and cross back across traffic. The driver was stretched out very stiff and shaking. I stopped and got to the car that was wedged against the right barrier, put it in park, and he was sitting in the car, foaming at the mouth and drooling. A young woman (college age) came running up saying she was in nursing school, took one look at him and said he's having a heart attack, we need to get him out of the car. I told her he was NOT having a heart attack and that he was coming out of a seizure. I told her he's safer in the car, belted in because if he goes into full seizure again, he'll be stronger than 10 men and laid on the ground could swallow his tongue. The State Trooper got there and started her heart attack and nurse routine on him. I told him what I saw as he crossed in front of me and he agreed with me and it was confirmed by EMTs when they got there. The "nurse" walked away and I told her to learn to ask the right questions before making a "diagnosis" or rethink her career choice.
My daughter has asthma. When she was in middle school, they would not let her carry her inhaler on her. It had to be in the nurses office. She had a bad attack, and she almost didn't make it to the nurses office she almost passed out. Fortunately, it was one of the last days of school. She went to high school the next year and was allowed to keep her inhaler on her . She is 40 now and still has to have it with her
I had a co-worker who was choking. She allowed me to do the abdominal thrusts just before she passed out. Several co-workers passed by my office and did nothing. One even questioned the next day "what was I doing?" We need more people aware and involved.
This happened to us except with asthma. The nurse refused to treat an active attack and told my daughter to wait in line. Her excuse was that the phone call was more important. The crazier part was she was the nurse’s sub. We took the issue before the board of ed and their excuse was my daughter was wrong because she took her meds without permission.
THIS!!!!! In Texas, schools do NOT have to employ a LICENSED nurse!!!! How do I know???? The school "nurse" called me one day to tell me that she thought my son had broken his leg. She wanted to know if I wanted her to call an ambulance. I asked a few very basic questions such as, "does he still have a pulse in the extremity?" To which she responded, "I have no idea? How would I know?" I threw a fit!!!!!!! Basic medical knowledge!!!!! I learned that when I was 12!!!!
You can have a broken leg and a pulse in that extremity so ... not sure what this has to do with whether you wanted your child sent to the hospital by ambulance or if you preferred to go to the school and drive the child yourself.
@@deborawagner7657that’s true but I think you’re missing why she asked the nurse that. A broken limb doesn’t mean you’ll lose a pulse but if there’s no pulse and a broken limb(does happen sometimes) that’s a medical emergency. She would need to go via ambulance asap otherwise you could lose the limb. Basic nursing 101 stuff right there
Then you also should have learned what the Schools in Texas will and will not do and they are and not required to have on site. Getting mad at the person who contacted you wasn't right.
I had to give my friend her epipen shot in high school because the teacher said only a registered nurse/the person themselves was allowed to administer the medication (because of liability and how expensive they are). As someone else with a severe allergy, I knew what anaphylaxis looked like, and I knew my friend was having a reaction, so I just snuck it out of her backpack (we both kept ours in the same place) and jammed it in when the teacher got up to call the nurse. My friend ended up in the hospital for a few weeks but she avoided major long term complications because she got the shot in time.
I was in the nurses office to pick up my sick daughter & I overheard a little girl tell the nurse through tears that she off of the slide and landed on her arm. Her elbow hurt her so bad. This nurse (an actual RN) was scared to touch her & didnt even know how to put on a sling. She kept turning it around like it was some weird torture device. I was an out-of practice EMT, license expired years before, calmed the girl, put on the sling without hurting her and gave her an ice pack. Told the nurse to call her mom cause she should get an xray. The nurse was pissed when I told my bill would be in the mail. Not all of them but most if the school nurses aren't even certified in the medical field and the ones that are don't use their practical skills often enough and it shows.
When my son was 7, he broke his arm badly and had nerve damage. I spoke at length to the school nurse about all the things before he returned to school after the surgery and hospitalization. His first day back she called to tell me he had fallen but was ok: "don't worry, he's fine - he can wiggle all his fingers", which must be something she just says to worried parents. In his case of course, he literally could not wiggle his fingers and that is why I was so worried in the first place.
I was having a serious allergic reaction in Walmart. I asked 2 employees for help. They ignored me. I complained to the manager later. A year later, I had a low blood sugar episode. A young, male cashier got me a chair, a soda (which I paid for) and got the manager, who stayed with me until my sister came. Apparently they took my complaint seriously.
Sever allergy to bees here. I carry an epipen just in case something happens. I will try to avoid it if i can. This has caused me to accidentally slam the drive thru window in someones face before. I was in back drive so i told the people up front that i would have to switch places with someone because of the bee flying around the window. I was told no one could switch but cash out would be done up front untill the bee left. It took 17 cars before it "left". Turns out a small beehive was located in one of the trees in the back lot later that day. It was safely transplanted else where and there hasnt been a bee problem since.
That "bye" said EVERYTHING!
She’s ignorant, if you cant administer the medication and you do it you’re liable and they sue you. Not worth the risk I rather get fired.
@@jrcell5832... so you rather a child die and you get fired instead of saving that child's life I am so glad that you didn't work my son's school when he had his allergic reaction to nuts because had he had to go to the hospital because your dumbass would not give him his EpiPen I had a case because your a** would not be standing!
People watch these idiot shows with bitchy characters and think it's real life
@jrcell5832
You forgot "..after I visited the funeral of the kid I refused to give the medication to."
@@koppsr honestly it sucks if the kid dies but if you can’t administer it you can get sued and they’ll take everything from you. There’s plenty of stories of people saving other then the person they saved sues them a takes all their assets. If you’re single and want to risk it by all means risk your livelihood if you have a family don’t risks theirs.
I love her saying “fully licensed” and then looks at her saying “bye”. And the “school nurse” before was calling her a hysterical mom.

It's awesome when people actually do some research before filming. Can't remember the exact case but do recall reading about an actor that completely went off script for parts of several scenes because he had researched his role and simply corrected the parts where the writer and producer had their heads up. After some debate and because his changes worked so smoothly with the action they only cropped or reshot 2 of like 15 scenes. Actor and movie went on to win Oscars and guess which 2 scenes the critic that also knew reality shredded.
@@ronr.riekensii2134that’s actually so awesome!
I was trained to hold it for 10. Counting to 10 in the moment is probably 2-3 real seconds. lol
@heatherbell2383 As an EMT in the USA, we hold for 3, then rub the area for 10. Also I have EpiPens for my own allergies and they have the same instructions. Maybe it's different in different countries or with different brand pens?
In jr high I had surgery on both knees.
Not a week after my school had me climbing to the 4th floor at the start of each day and going down at the end.
Day three I collapsed and was screaming in pain for two hours. Nurse said I was faking it. My mother knew it was real because I had gotten metal shoved in my bones.
The school was put on a three way with my surgeon and my father. My dad had to wait for doc to stop tearing them a new one for him to start. The words I loved and laughed at the most "If he has to have another surgery because of you idiots I'll personally fund their lawsuit against you!" And she meant it.
And this just made me feel a million times better that we pulled my son out of school after his knee surgery.
This pisses me off so much. I’ve had Crohn’s disease my whole life and would always come to the nurses office when I had severe stomach pain or was throwing up to the point where they thought I was faking, one day I was playing tether ball and I guess I over exerted myself since I was already sick from my stomach and losing blood through my poop so I ended up collapsing, everything turned red next thing I know I’m on the floor screaming because I was a heavy girl and the fall made me fracture my leg I couldn’t even move. They called the nurses, they didn’t come with a wheelchair until a student helped me hop while screaming and i was already almost at the office. Get that, a student helped not even a teacher a damn student. Then the nurses wouldn’t even help me into the chair told me to stop faking even though I was screaming and had tears running nonstop face bloodshot red. They didn’t even want to call my mom so guess what, I called her myself with my own phone and told the nurse that she was a bitch, that her job was to protect and treat the children of this school not turn them away when they’re visibly in pain. Told her I would sue her if any of what she did or lack there of made my injury worse. Not sure if I was right to say that to her but at the time it’s what felt like needed to be said.
@@Beautiful.SavageYou were in pain and the nurse was doing nothing despite-according to the information given- knowing you have a condition. When we’re experiencing extreme emotions and feelings we do things that we may not have done with a clear mind. Sometimes you gotta be the asshole to make people open their ears.
Also, the nurse telling you to stop faking when you're clearly in pain might get classified as negligence.
I love your doctor and your dad! That's the way an adult should act in that situation! The doctor tearing them a new one is awesome!
Did the lawsuit happen?
Fully Licensed RN here…THIS is why schools NEED to have nurses on staff full-time! too many schools have stopped using nurses, leaning on teachers to take care of sick children. That is not the teachers job that is the job of a licensed professional nurse. School systems & school boards need to stop being so freaking cheap, our children’s lives depend on it. Parents in this country need to stand up and DEMAND that art programs, sports programs AND licensed nurses remain in our schools. Our country’s kids need all of these things and a GOOD EDUCATION! (there’s my 99 ¢) and I love this lady! STOP talking!😅😊💜💜💜
No kids but see all children as our future. They need EVERYTHING to grow up happy, healthy, and safe. Cheaping out on our adults of tomorrow is a huge mistake. Teachers need our support too. It's unforgivable when a good teacher has to spend her already pitiful salary for much needed school supplies and sometimes food for underfed students.
Nowadays it's one nurse for the whole district.
Thank you!
Shut up chrissy
but we need to pay those teachers more... I mean not really but this is a great excuse for getting those "administrators" that don't teach, don't do nothing, only add to problems more money so the teachers can keep getting screwed and then getting pissed off and carrying those picketts around to scream for more money so it can all go to the "administration" so the administration can afford to find more ways to cut costs so they can get more money while the teachers are still getting screwed... oh... and the students too... but NO ONE gives any care for them. Not their parents, not the teachers, not the administration, not the politicians... no one.
Or there would be more people calling this BS out! Reap what you sow... but it's the children paying the price for all this absolutely vile ignorance and stupidity... especially when you consider the consequences of "liability". We are destroying ourselves!
I broke my foot trying out for the talent show in the fourth grade and the school nurse wouldn't call my mom. When she finally did she told my mom that I was faking an injury to get out of class. My mom told her that she was full of it. The nurse gave me a dirty look when I came back to school with a cast on.
I had the same with a splinter. My mum ended up coming to school Nd took me to hospital where they removed a 4cm splinter from old school boards that had gone up through my foot. This was in the 70's.
I got a call from the school nurse about my daughter. Nurse said daughter didn't feel good. Nurse said she thought she was faking it. When I get to the school my daughter is sitting outside in 40°f weather with a drizzle. As soon as she got in the car and I touched her head I knew she was feverish. Went straight to the Dr 's office. Temperature was 103° when we got there. Severe upper respiratory infection and strep throat. I took her home and called the school and asked to speak to the principal. I asked the principal what kind of idiot they had for a school nurse. I could tell she was sick as soon as I saw her. Nurse never checked temp. Principal tried to excuse the nurse by saying kids lie all the time to get out of class. I told the principal that if my kids need a mental health day (they just don't feel like going to school) I let them stay home. Why waste the teachers time or theirs. They had only missed 3 days the whole year prior to this. I really hate stupidity.
@@sheilawilton8844Just because it happens doesn't mean they should assume everyone does it. I hate stupidity as well.
I remember playing rugby almost had my ear ripped of tore the lobe from side of face bout 10mm all the nurse done was put a plaster/band aid on it told me to go to next lesson as normal walked out of school took myself to the doctors the nurse there cleaned it properly and put paper stitches my mum went mental at the school
@@Mikyda3even if they assumed everyone did it. That’s exactly why you test it using empirical processes like measuring temperature. Only an idiot claims the other guy is lying, then refuses to find the really easy test to prove if the fever is real.

Same here my friend.
My wife is a NICU nurse and saves babies' lives on the regular. The stories she tells about these limp, blue babies and how she runs a code for them... It's amazing. I admire her to no end.
Wow the success rate of performing CPR is actually very rare...and your wife has done it multiple times that saved lives😂😂😂😂😂 she must literally be a miracle maker.... 5% of cpr is successful.
@@jesseduff3536 I don't know if you're talking to me or OP but he didn't say she's saved multiple lives using CPR, and I never said anything about CPR at all. You might also want to examine why you felt the need to reply the way you did. Maybe you're having a bad day. But maybe you're just not happy in your life overall. Either way you can make it better and this need you feel to drag other people down (before even reading and comprehending what's being said) can be overcome. Best of luck.
Yes sir!!
I was at work once when another employee stopped breathing. I and another associate immediately started performing first aid. I was trained and the other associate was a first aid instructor. The store manager appeared on scene and immediately told us to stop or we'd be terminated immediately. My coworker continued with the CPR and I told the manager to f off. When EMS showed up they told us had we not done anything or coworker likely wouldn't have survived. We both got written up and I (a supervisor at the time) was demoted because, "I failed to put the safety of the company first." Apparently they would have preferred to allow an employee die than risk him be injured by us. They had the nerve to tell me I wasn't dedicated and wasn't a team player when I quit.
So proud of you both for being human AND for exhibiting compassion.
Weirdly a Consultant Orthopedic Dr said x.rays showed bruising on my husbands neck and shoulder after construction site accident. I said No this is serious and I was told "don't be a silly girl its bruising"... 1 yr later I booked private appointment on my own construction site private medical policy.. told him it was my appointment. They did ct. Mri and in 10 minutes admitted him with 5 broken and destroyed vertebrae in his neck. 3 replaced and 2 repaired. He developed multiple sclerosis 14yrs later because of neurological damage to his spinal cord. The nhs (uk) Consultant was an international rugby player now dec. To be honest my husband nearly killed me but dropped dead before we got to court. I do look back and still wonder if i did the right thing at the time, but know I would have in my heart.
How soon after did you quit?
gee, i think the local papers and tv news channels would have loved to cover that story.
The world is messed up. 😡 Hope ya got a better employer since
When i was working at a summer camp the older kids could go to the bathroom with the buddy system. While 2 kids went to the bathroom, 1 kid went into anaphylaxis. He had lots of allergies so we weren't sure what triggered it. The kid who was with him bolted into the gym, ran up to me and said "call 911" got the boys back pack and the epipen, injected him, and then comforted him. It was shocking. He saved that boy.
That boy is an older wise soul who’s parents/adults helped him regain his skills and put them into practice early on. A hero through and through.
Yeah he did!
that's fucking awesome. Good parenting right there
In my school we did a cpr lesson in PE class that lasted 2 days. I think there should be something taught about how to use EpiPens too cause clearly that could also save someone's life
@@greatestboop6758 thats awesome! I totally agree.
I am that mother. I'm not a nurse, but I know my children. The nurse called me to say my 6yo daughter had fallen off the monkey bars. She was giving her an ice pack and sending her back to class. I heard my daughter crying through the phone and I KNEW it was bad. I told the nurse to check her collar bone for a bump. Yep. I said, "She has a broken collar bone. I'm taking her to the ER." One trip to the ER revealed 1 broken collar bone and 3 cracked ribs. The RN was going to give her an ice pack and send her back to class. I was ANGRY.
Edit: I was told she fell on her shoulder. That was my 1st clue. Then, I heard her crying. That was my 2nd clue. Most moms can tell why their kids are crying (hungry, angry, sad, tired, injured, etc). It's quite common. It's not anything magical, it's just part of being a mom.
Also, my brother had a similar accident when we were kids. That was my 3rd clue. Again, nothing crazy or implausible. It's easily explained. If you're a mom, you know what I'm talking about.
She should have been fired. Protocal for a fall is immediately calling an ambulance, stabilizing the patient incace of head or neck injuries and transporting to a hospital for further examination. An ice pack and return to class? I hope you fiked a report on it.
Ouch. They should be fired if they can't tell a child is seriously injured.
@@David-yo5re I pitched a fit to the principal and threatened to go to the school board. I don't know what happened beyond that, but I don't remember ever seeing her in the office again. Maybe she was fired or just hiding when she saw my car pull up. Maybe she got transferred.... IDK. What I do know is that the RN at her current school is great. Very professional and knows his stuff.
I fell off the monkey bars in 5th grade, nurse said I was fine and wanted to send me to class. I had 2 broken ribs that ended up healing crooked on their own.
My sister had a teeter totter slammed down on her back in 4th or 5th grade and the school never told my mom. The only reason she found out is my sister told her. My mom told off the school and they were scared of my family ever since lol. My sister still has back issues as an adult and has to go to the doctor and chiropractor regularly because of lasting issues from a possibly broken back that was never fixed because they didn't tell my parents about it.
I was in high school when my "nurse event" happened.
I was roughly 15 at the time, had my cycle for 4 years by then. Went to the nurse with horrible pain, nausea, and tender abdomen. I was about a week off my normal cycle schedule.
Nurse said I was overreacting to get out of class, gave me a pad, and tried to send me back. Called my mom, who has paramedic certification, picked me up to take me to the ER.
Not even halfway there, I passed out in the car.
To put it simply : I have PCOS. Meaning I have cysts on my ovaries. My cycle came early and a Rouge cramp caused one to burst. It started hurting so bad because it got infected sometime during the day and I developed sepsis.
I passed out in the car bc I was going into Septic shock. I genuinely don't know what would've happened if I hadn't called my mom. Considering most school nurses can't even treat a scraped knee, God knows how they'd react to Septic shock 😅
I also have pcos. Most painful thing I've ever had to deal with and I've had people just brush it off like it's nothing. I feel you friend
As a certified medical assistant working in a clinic, hearing this makes me want to work as a school nurse instead of a damn clinic. I remember when I was in elementary school I’m 33 now we had real nurses in school, I vividly remember even being able to get vaccinated in school if we were missing any vaccines. The government must be getting cheap because I went to public school. So they must not want to pay someone that’s certified because it would cost more than to pay someone that isnt
@BossLadiie82808 Yeah, it did go cheap. Some schools (like in the video) don't carry epipens due to budget cuts, some aren't allowed to carry medication for the children (not even prescribed inhalers or insulin). By far, the worst I've seen was an AED. My dad worked at an elementary school after retiring from being a fire fighter. I don't recall the full story, but it was something along the lines of a 4-5 year old choking during naptime and wasn't discovered for at least 10 minutes.
By the time my dad got there, the teachers had realized that the AED was not only 15+ years old but flat out wouldn't turn on. Meaning no one had checked it in years.
Kid lived, thank God. But man did that school have a lawsuit
I had similar. We were in a big exam block when it happened and I was ignored as we weren’t allowed to leave our seats or ask questions. Ended up eventually getting taken out in a wheelchair, and then afterwards doc discovered I had pcos.
1) Yikes. My bestie has PCOS. She’s on birth control to keep that and her horrid periods in check. Nightmarish for her otherwise.
2) …I’m sorry, how did a cramp rupture one?
3) I’ll ask you something I asked her, specifically, rate the accuracy of the following statement: “it is normal for periods to be uncomfortable. It is abnormal/worrying for periods to be outright painful.”
My sister's daughter died in school because of an incompetent head teacher and all teachers. Her friends tried to rescue even calling their parents to come to school to help their friend. The school called my sister instead of an ambulance; two hospitals very near the school. She died on the ground with no adult helping her. Years later my sister still lives with the pain - Loretto Convent Valley Road, Nairobi, Kenya 🇰🇪. We will never forget 💔
I'm so sorry, God bless you all x
I'm sorry for you and your sisters loss. Sending my love and well wishes
Sorry for your loss.😢
With Nairobi Hospital a literal walking distance from there, and Coptic a 10 minute ride away, that is a truly epic level of incompetence. My deepest condolences for your loss.
@@user-kpkxgtj Thank you ♥️
When I was in grade four, we had an rn come into our class and teach us not only what an epipen was but why and how to use it. He also taught us how to recognize anaphylaxis vs a regular allergic reaction. All the kids with epipens made sure not only their teacher, but their friends knew what it was, how to use it and where to find it. There were also spare epipens in both the front office and the nurse's office. Epipens are one of two medications you can administer without a license and being fully legally protected. (The other being Noloxone for opiate overdoses.) I am an everyday person with no medical training beyond First Aid. It amazes me that there are still so many people who don't know the things I just mentioned. Edited because dyslexia.
It’s Naloxone.
I have dyslexia so I didn't even see that. Thank you for the correction.
@@LadyVineXIII no problem. My baby brother is dyslexic, I’ve got a lot of experience fixing transposed letters in various words. I figured it was worth fixing this one since it’s on the verge of being an OTC drug and for a few bucks it might be worth carrying a couple of dispensers around just in case you come across a fresh overdose that could be saved. That’s my plan anyway.
@@rickb2432 I have one in my bag and another I can pop into my bags. Definitely worth carrying as they don't expire for three years and are quite inexpensive. Best case scenario, I can trade them in for new ones when they expire. Worst case scenario, I have them when I need them.
@@rickb2432..... Really? You knew what she meant. SMH.
In Virginia, about 15 years ago, a girl went into anaphylactic shock after eating something. The family was unaware of her food allergies. She did not have a personal epi-pen. Despite the fact that there was a cabinet full of epi-pens for other children. The nurse was not allowed to use any for her. The only person who could administer the epi-pen was the school nurse. All of this wasted precious time and I believe the girl was dead before EMS got there. Virginians were horrified and incredulous. They demanded change immediately. I don’t remember any legislative matter speeding through the approval process like this. The next year all adults at all Virginia schools were required to learn how to administer epi-pens. Epi-pens were provided at all Nurse’s offices. I think they also have in classrooms (but I’m not sure.) I hate that a child had to die to enact lifesaving change, but at least other children are being saved because of what happened to her.
What sucks even more is if the nurse had administered another student’s epi-pen then they could go to jail or would definitely lose their license. And epi-pens expire so quickly and cost a small fortune for families. In Washington they are trying to save families money by having epi-pens in every school, which I hope happens.
@@ottercaiyep giving out someone else epi pen could be viewed as giving out narcotics depending on how terrible it he states wants to be because they are prescription medication in the US. Drive over the boarder to say Canada say and they are an order of magnitude cheaper and an over the counter medication.
We have a school based epi pen for emergencies in Virginia that is available for such cases now due to the incident you describe. Depending on the school, we have the epi jr and epi pen. Also, we are legally required to call 911 after administering it IRL (I know, tv does it differently) because of the rebound effect.
@@ottercaicurrently the evidence out there shows that an EpiPen maintains it's effectiveness for around 2 years after it's expiration date. Not saying not to get new ones when they expire, just that it's probably not a terrible idea to keep the recently expired ones, just in case.
Wow, I didn't know this. I live in Virginia and have kids who will be in school but not yet. When was this?
This incident is very close to my heart, a girl in my hostel next door was writhing in pain and the doctor/Nurse present told her it was menstrual pain. My gut feeling told me that there was something wrong, not because I was boastful but becuse I was in and out of hospital 3/4 of my life to recognize this. Her roommate and me rushed her to ER ignoring the hostel doctor and I was right. She had acute appendicitis so dilated it was going to burst and poison her organs or so I was told. I was a minor so I cannot be her guardian and I had to fight with the hospital to admit her while her parents flew in town. They did the operation and her mother reached just after the surgery. She hugged me and said I saved her daughters life. The head of ER met me in hallway and said he had never felt so intimidated by a 17 year old in his hospital and that my parents should be super proud of me.
Good for you sweetie. Dr's are often wrong when new medical advances arrive so quickly. Problem is they go for the 'normal cause first as its cheapest treatment'. With 2 serious rare disorders myself, that is very difficult. A test was conducted at local hospital to save me 25 mile journey. Instead of passing results to my consultant, they said "I had munchausen as my condition is rare". When the idiot Consultant and 7 smirking Dr's he asked "who told you that you had cysteine urea Dear as its rare" (I was 59) Coldly replied "professor Gerry Coles 1974, and current Consultants details"... then showed the huge 14 inch multiple scars and said 'if this is munchausen, I'm a clever one removing 1/2 my right kidney age 14!" It WAS BRILLIANT SEEING 8 DR'S JAWS HIT THE DESK! BUT I refused to move from the hospital Ive been under for 49 yrs 🤣 Stay polite but stand your ground as you know your own body best❤️
You’re not my child but I am so proud of you! Excellent job! ❤
A burst appendix does NOT 'poison your organs". Geesh. It's called PERITONITIS, an infection that can spread to your bloodstream.
Use the CORRECT TERMINOLOGY!
My school is currently being sued. A student had frequent seizures. The school refuse to let her opt out of swim class. She had reportedly talked to the nurse before that class saying she felt really bad and thought an episode was coming. The nurse sent her to class anyways and she downed in the pool. She wasn’t found for I believe half an hour. No one has been fired. The lawsuit isn’t over. This happened about a year ago
EDIT
WHITELAND HIGH SCHOOL DROWNING
In Clark pleasant school corp.
I Can’t say more cause AI keeps saying şpám
That's so fucked up
Wtf that's awful
Wait, she was ALONE in the pool?!
@@VJK102 our teacher lets us get out “in our own time”. Meaning as long as you at your next class in regular clothes by the bell you can get out whenever. So I assume she was last out. Thing was I thought the teacher checked after class (but yes she was unsupervised. The teacher was supposed to be the lifeguard)
I'm calling bullshit. She was in swim class and drowned because she wasn't found for half an hour? Was she the only one in the pool?
My son's school insisted that any and all medications were to be left in the nurses office, yet the nurse never seemed to be on campus for any type of emergency,, or even when our kids were ill. I have the school a prescription bottle filled with sugar tablets and hid the real medicine in my kid's backpack and made sure the best friend knew where it was and how to use it.
Smart move
That's such a smart idea.
My mom did this too. She always made me keep an extra epipen and meds in my backpack bc if shit went down there was now way for the nurse to be notified and get to the classroom to save me.
Smart. I started carrying Advil/ pain reliever for cramps & headaches in middle school. Gave a couple to my friends when they needed it too. I never got in trouble for it. Got in trouble for gum in math class all the time, though. 😅
My school was the same way. I couldn’t keep my inhaler on me and would have to walk to the nurse office during an attack. I got to keep my inhaler after I passed out on the way to the office & end up in the hospital for a week.
I was that mother with a child who had severe asthma in high school. He had at least three serious asthma attacks at school that the nurse told him he was fine and just trying to stay out of class. He was wheezing, pale, vomiting unable to stop coughing or catch his breath. She told me his pulse ox was 90 so he was fine. I explained to her so many times that the pulse ox does not measure his airway restriction.
Each time I picked him up and rushed him to either the emergency room or to his doctor. Each time his small airways were close to collapsing all together. The scariest event was when his small airways were down to 38% of normal and his large airways we're at 60%. If she had called me at the beginning of the attack we could have caught it, treated it, and had him back to class in a couple of hours. Instead he had to be at home for a week on oxygen and round the clock nebulizer treatments along with massive doses of steroid.
I explained to her so many times the pulse ox does not measure the reaction of the airways in a kid with asthma. I never could drum that through her thick skull. My kid almost died three times under her care. After that I would just have him call or text me directly whenever he was having trouble. His pulmonologist arranged for a nebulizer to be at the school along with a rescue medication to go through it. She provided detailed information explaining exactly how serious these occurrences word and how they needed to be treated urgently each and every time. He had a green light to go at any time and use his nebulizer whether the school nurse thought it was necessary or not. We only had two major occurrences after that for the whole of his high school years. Sometimes "educated" people are some of the dumbest people.
That sounds like the school gets to pay for the bills ffs
OMGOSH! That’s awful!!
@@whatsthesong4295 if only. They demanded doctors notes and harassed me for the time he missed DUE TO THEIR OWN NEGLIGENCE. Sheesh. So glad all of that's over!
I agree, it's more of common sense, and I think just cus your educated, doesn't mean you know about medical stuff, information, , there's. A different kinds of smarts, book smart, street smart, and common sense smart, anyone can be capable of learning , but they have to want to learn, you can't fix the ignorant, no offense!
I very much hope you sued
My mom is an RN. One time, a kid stole my phone and prank called my mom telling her I was drunk. I got called down to the nurses office and was met with my principal, nurse & guidance counselor (who I literally never even met until this). My parents came and the counselor was adamant that I smelled like alcohol and was slurring and clearly appeared to be drunk and insisted I go a hospital to be detoxed immediately. My mother asked her what qualifications does she have to determine that I was drunk? And she just stood there, my mom then said ‘I’m an RN of 15 years. My daughter is not drunk’ she then demanded I got a new counselor for the rest of my years and the principal didn’t even hesitate to do just that lol
If the prank call was to your mom, then how did the principal, nurse, etc. know?
@@chitoflores9607 The person either told or the mom called just in case.
@@chitoflores9607 because my mother called the school to see where I was and who I was with and told administration that I was calling her telling her I was drunk. I got called down to the nurses office.
What was actually wrong then? Was there any kind of abnormality in your presentation? I don’t understand how someone could be adamant about this in front of people who can clearly see how you speak, walk and smell.
@@SarahMarielle.
Umm…?
✨narcissism✨
That’s my only guess.
I have a bee sting allergy. It's pretty bad, but i don't need an epi pen or anything just from one sting, but if i don't get some benadryl within the 1st 30-45 minutes afterwards, I get a lot of swelling and tenderness and it takes a LONG time to go away. In 9th grade, i was stung at lunchtime, so I went into the nurse's office just to let them know...I lived right across the street from our school. She said she didn't have me on the list..."what list?" "The same list we make EVERY year of students with bee sting allergies. You parents were supposed to come to the nurse's station at back to school night to add your name and action plan." ..."Yeah, we weren't here for back to school night, we just moved into the district 6 weeks ago. Don't you remember? You made me wait to start classes until I could take a TB test, even though the health department only does those at the beginning of the month, so i had to wait 2 extra weeks to start?...you gave us forms about medications but nothing about bee stings."
"Well, if you have an allergy, why didn't your mother ask for you to be put on the list? We could have made an exception to the deadline."
..."because...? Couldn't you just call her?" "I'll have to speak with the principal. " she comes back 5 minutes later, my arm is 3 times its normal size, "What did you do to your arm?!?!?!" 🙄
We have one in various rooms in the house, don't understand why you would only have one with you when you have a serious allergy.
@@kristinbeynon2839op wasn’t asking for an epipen just benedril
Not to be contrary but, it kinda sounds like you need to carry an Epi pen. Perhaps more than one. I've been stung in the face before and it was not good.
That nurse wasn't the sharpest tool in the shed was she?
@chrisbolhuis297 right? And it was like she was very bureaucratic...her attitude was "well, how could you possibly have a health problem? There is no form on file notifying the school of your intention to have a health problem, so therefore you must be mistaken. "
Back when I was in school, we weren't allowed to carry any medications as students, including things like epipens, inhalers, even insulin, but also the nurse wasn't 'allowed' to administer any of it as it could be a liability. So if a student was having an emergency, not only would they have to hobble all the way to the nurse's office and get their medication, but also be able to take it themselves, even in the middle of an episode. My mom said ef that, sent me to school with any medication I needed hidden in my unused pencil case.
Just one more reason to Homeschool
It was a rule a decade ago at my old school. One kid would carry his diabetes pack cause he had a hard time keeping his diabetes in check and had several severe episodes. Even then we had teachers complain. One time he did what he needed to do to check and pulled out an orange and the teacher freaked out on him. Us students had to explain diabetes to her.
One that sounds 100% fake two that's against the laws put in protact kids in many countries even back then. The laws were passed for the us it was 1940's other country's it in the early 1900's 😊.
My school had the same rules, pretty sure I got in told off for cough drops in elementary school. Come high school I kept Tylenol in a hard candy container and basically just said fuck it w my inhaler and kept it in my bags side pocket, they were required to be clear or mesh anyway and it was easier to access, especially if I needed someone else to get it. Think the most I got the was a letter home about keeping all meds at the nurses office, the nurse who was split between 2 separate schools.
Come to think of it my school liked there letters lol, I also got one that threatened to call child and family services bc of my absences (I think 25 days and it was already in the 4th or final quarter of the year, so less that 45 class days left) like that’s what happens when you have undiagnosed asthma for 17 years of your life, my immune system sucks ass. My friend got the same letter and he parents were pissed tf off.
Now I’m thinking about weird or dumb shit from elementary lol (k-5), like how I was constantly getting sent to the nurse bc I’d get some mud on my pants at recess, which I don’t think was that common cause I was always the only one there, or that one time I got called out of class to the office, who told me to go to the nurse, who told me to go to guidance (rooms were connected) bc apparently my tits were to big and they wanted me to wear a bra or hoodie :/ bc I guess someone was eyeing you all the 10 year olds chests bc that is totally not creepy
I once had period cramps so bad I couldn't walk. School nurse said that my dad would have to bring me tylenol. A teacher snuck me some instead.
I'm seriously grateful for our school nurse. She NEVER neglected any injuries, sometimes she'd even let you nap if you were feeling overwhelmed. Now I see how great she was
Huhu good people are rare😢
because of a dumb show?
Or school nurse was a ….. yeah …always, she had her favourites and would let them nap. Meanwhile, I’m at school post surgery and every time I went in for my Tylenol or Advil she had a snide comment and called my dad (vice principal) who would come in and berate me 🙄
Buuuuut… my brother had a car accident and hit one of her trees in her yard. 😂 I was tickled but boy did I hide it (tree had to be cut down lol
I liked my school nurse and teachers, every time I had a gran mal seizure, they would be there for me after I come out of it and wait with me until the EMT and my parents came. Then off to the hospital again. Happened often.
My daughter broke her wrist the school nurse said she was fine, I at the time a CNA could see it was broken. Promptly took my daughter from school to hospital, as I was leaving the school said they were calling SRS/DHS on me, told them that's awesome we'll be @ the hospital. That's been 16 ish yrs ago, I'm still waiting on SRS/DHS.
Maybe you're on a waiting list since they are attending other bullshit complaints and getting grilled by parents and then having to grill the school officials about their dumbass incompetence. Keep us posted 😔
What would they be calling? Over medical attention? Not that it was...just wondering.
something kinda like this happened at my school. i showed up, i was sick, pale, and felt like i couldn’t breathe. i had a headache and everything. my boyfriend at the time had to let me lean on him because my body ached to walk. when i got to the nurses office, she tested me for covid and asked about my symptoms. i didn’t have covid, and i told her my symptoms too. she didn’t believe me, called my mom saying she doesn’t think i’m sick and emphasized that i don’t have covid. my mom had to check her and basically said that covid isn’t the only illness there is, put me on the phone, and got me picked up. hate that woman to this day.
I’ve had to do this AS A TEENAGER!!! It just blew my mind when a fellow student was having an asthma attack in my chorus class and couldn’t walk, the nurses station was just AROUND THE CORNER, and they refused to leave cause they were dealing with an issue in the office. They had 3 nurses and not 1 of them could come and give this girl her inhaler 🤦🏽♀️. They told my teacher to have her “Wait”. …. IKR you can’t breathe and being told by medical professionals to hold on for oxygen 😂. There was 3 other people in my class that had asthma including myself that had inhalers, but I was the ONLY ONE willing to let her use mine😳. I don’t get people. I really don’t. Everyone kept saying, “ you’re not supposed to share medication.” True. But you’re morally not supposed to watch someone just DIE right in front of you either 🤦🏽♀️. I gave her my unopened bottle of water and rubbed her back while coaching her breathing. She thanked me for this. And when the nurse finally decided to show up 30 MINUTES LATER, I told her to F&*#! OFF. Got suspended for that.
Worth it😏.
I'm glad you helped and didn't ignore your classmate. You're an amazing person! I LOVE that you told the nurse to F-off. ❤
They didn’t suspend you for telling the nurse to fuck off; they suspended you for proving there were three nurses on staff that were not competent enough to do their jobs, a job so easy one of the students was able to do it…..
You should have got an award.. but nothing is sensible in this world anymore!!
No one knew how to care for my brother when he'd have a seizure. They'd sit him in a chair, no no because of a risk of falling. They stick things in his mouth, definitely a no no, dangerous for him and them, lay him flat NO! If he throws up as is common during a seizure, he'll asperate and cause serious lung issues. It was a miracle he made it out alive.
Great job! Ur right WORTH IT!

@@SvanhildrG That's a shame I didn't really want to watch the show just wanted to see what happens next in this scene or if it just end here.
Can't find the scene on TH-cam aside from this video.
I had a nurse experience like this too. I'm kind of sad by how many stories are in the comments of stuff like this happening. It happened to me in third grade. I was in after school care, and I ran into another kid. I had managed to get a horse shoe fracture an inch below the growth plate on the Tibia of my right leg. They tried to make me walk on it to get back to the cafeteria from the gym, and when I started screaming and crying collapsed on the floor, one of the much older teachers decided to carry me back. Then they called my parents and told them. I had a bruise and was fine and acting up. I was left crying at a lunch table for 3 and a 1/2 hours. Once my mom got there , she took one look at my leg, and she could feel the bone moving in and out of place, so she screamed at them and took me to the hospital. The worst part, though, is they told all of the kids that were in the after-school program with me that I was faking it for attention. So when I came back to school with a cast from my hip to my toes, the students bullied me relentlessly for 8+ weeks. The school couldn't really do anything to stop it because they were the ones who told all the students that I was faking it. So they would have had to have the teachers admit to lying/being wrong, which they weren't gonna do.

My son went into anaphylaxis last fall (at home, bee sting). After hospital visit, brought epipens to school. Nurse was VERY COMPETENT & thorough. Patiently answered all my questions.
My son undergoes Allergen Therapy. Thankfully, we can afford it, but many families would not be able to. It's expensive.
None of my family have allergies like this. I tried giving him benadryl first, only found out later it doesn't do sh÷t. Called on-call Dr, rushed him to ER. He was okay. He'd had hives, redness, coughing & puked. But that was from ONE wasp sting.
He'd been stung before with no reactions.
My FiL has a massive allergy to shellfish, should hold an epipen, but he won't 😒 So I'd had my eye out for FOOD allergies, not wasps ...
What is allergen therapy? And how does one get this? Would you just ask the pediatrician? And if you don’t mind me asking what is the price per dose? We currently do “allergy shots” and honestly I do not think they are doing anything and for what we pay per shot quiet frankly I would like another option for her because I am scared one day this exact thing is going to happen and no one will be around to help.
Broke my arm at school in second grade. The nurse gave me an i e pack and sent me to gym to do pushups. They ALWAYS thought we were faking in the 90’s and 00’s😊
Broke my arm in first grade, and they never called my parents. My mom was furious when she found out I went through a whole day of school with a broken arm; had to write with it and everything.
Did they?
…hm. I guess the only times I landed in the nurse’s office may have been when I threw up and was waiting for my mom. At which point it’s obvious and just a matter of “lie down, here’s a trashcan, and wait.”
Remember in 9th grade, was out for a smoke with a friend before going to bed, maybe 150-200m from my home. (yeah so sneaky😂)
Was dark and tripped on something, and twisted my foot so badly my friend had to help me home.
Still in pain the next morning I told my pairents I couldn't go to scjool cause my foot hurt.
Thinking I was faking it they said ok lets go to the ER then.
Gladly went in with my mom, but she had to go to work so my dad went to pick me up when I was "done"..
He got there just as the doc sait my foot wasn't twisted or sprained, my dad popping a quick "we knew it" then doc finish talking.. "it's broken" 😂
Best part, when my dad called to tell my mom she started laughing hysterically. Her co-worker she shared the office with did manage to figure out that she was dying of laughter cause I had broken my leg.
In her defence that was my 3rd fracture in 1½ year 🙈
Near exact same thing happened to me, but another student broke their arm the same day so the nurse was like "two students can't both have broken their arms on the same day, you just want attention".
Ugh, I wish more schools still used licensed nurses. The quality has downgraded so much over the years. I just experienced that this week! My daughter was sent to the school nurse and she as given an ice pack after she was hit in the wrist in gym class. My daughter called me on her cell and I dropped everything to pick her up. Turns out she fractured her wrist in 2 places and she was given an ice pack and sent back to class.
I called the school livid and to understand the disconnect more; the school nurse replies “well, she didn’t look like she was in a lot of pain and besides she shouldn’t be using her cell phone in school”. 🙄 ridiculous. I had no words at how she tried to shift the conversation from her actions (and being accountable) to my daughter calling me. I just asked they call me the next time my child goes to their office smh
😢😢😢
Soooo you are bothered by a child using their cell in school to call a parent because of the lack of care they were getting in school. It's kind of missing the whole point.
That "Bye" was ice cold
A school nurse should know every child's face and name on campus that carries an EpiPen. There should be zero guessing about it in emergency situations.
I went to my high school nurse for the first time in my senior year. For 3 straight days. I couldn't breathe. She kept saying I'm fine, just fat. 3rd day, a different nurse saw me and did a double-take. She called 911 because i was turning blue. I developed asthma out of nowhere. When EMS got there, they gave me oxygen and some other stuff and asked how long I had been like this. I told them. The nurse that sent me away for three days got fired and now my lips still have a blue/purple tint. My asthma is mostly controlled and i rarely get that bad. But damn. I felt like i was dying. 😢
sounds like an expensive lawsuit, glad someone competent caught it and you lived
Babes ( I'm married happily not flirting) YOU WERE.
I went to the nurse with searing headaches every day for weeks. She called my mom and told her I was lying to get out of class. Turns out, i needed glasses. The headaches went away once i got my prescription
We had a senior that kept going to the nurse for headaches. It went on for some time at the end of the year. He died of a brain aneurysm 10 to 15 minutes after graduation ended.
It's standard protocol these days for staff in Australia to be trained yearly on how to use an epipen and to be aware of students in their class with medical conditions.
Absolutely!And my school owns 4 pens stored at various locations around the school - these are for emergencies as students carry their own pens.
That's why we're the lucky country. 😁
@melanieandalyiah1003 It's standard in the US too, at least in my state. I have no idea what that show is going on about. Every single adult in my school would be prepared to administer an epi if needed.
@@melanieandalyiah1003still have alot of Karenlike staff who don't believe or care...gave up and homeschooled
@@ashleyder9164some districts and states have liability laws that don’t allow school nurses to administer certain types of medication and sometimes the epi pens are on that list
The “Rich Lady” back talk already had her fired btw.. it’s not about the status of the child’s family, it’s the child’s life we’re talking bout.. Pack your bags and the guy next to her by not reprimanding the nurse..
In seventh grade I was having really bad stomach pain and went to the nurse three times and she said that there was nothing she could do and wouldn't call my parents because they were at work and I shouldn't bug them with such things when I'm supposed to be learning. About an hour later my science teacher decided to call my mom because I was as white as a sheet and covered in sweat. My aunt picked me up from school until my mom could get there and then she took me to the doctor. A few hours later the doctor frantically called telling us to get to the hospital. Turns out my appendix was about to burst if I was an hour later. This is the same nurse that told my sister that she couldn't have her medication (she has celiacs and accidentally ate gluten) because she didn't need it and she was faking. She still has her job😢
_stares at you_
I’m sorry, since when is “gluten exposure in a celiac patient” something that has a(n emergency) medication?
That sucks, I have celiacs… it’s no joke when you get glutened. I’m in fetal position for 3-4 hours in pain and foggy. I definitely can’t drive with that amount of pain in my belly.
@@PokeMageTechit’s not emergency medication per se it’s just medicine that helps with the excruciating pain that can be brought on by eating gluten. It’s the worst and the medicine truly helps.
For fucks sakes, why didn't your AUNT take you to the ER?

In elementary school, I wasnt allowed to carry my inhaler. The amount of times I ended up in the hospital because the school wouldnt let me carry my inhaler was insane
I hope your parents sent them every bill
@@6ftfemme725 My kid's school "forgot" to send her inhaler with the teachers on the class end-of-year outing. (The nurse was supposed to have been given a list of students on the trip so she could send all the meds kept in her office for them.) I had to leave work and pick her up from the hospital an hour away. (And they never covered the bill.) The next year, they refused to let her go unless there was an adult with her to carry her inhaler for her (this was middle school!) So my mother had a nice outing to a regional amusement park, completely paid for by the school, and she didn't have to even act as a chaperone for anyone else. And of course my kid didn't need the inhaler that trip.... And given how much that nurse loathed me and my kid I have to wonder if she "forgot" on purpose.
what witch country has that way
Yeah, I’m pretty sure they thought you were gonna start dealing out drugs because that’s how inhaler‘s work 🙄🙄.
I worked in pediatrics for a while, I had one little boy come in that wasn’t able to catch his breath. I had to give him 2 breathing treatments and he still sounded like a goat ( no offense ) then the doctor went in with him. WHY didn’t his Mom take him to the ER is beyond me? We were very close to 3 hospitals.
The tv series is called billions. This scene is from season 2 episode 1
Thank you! I was scrolling through the comments to see if anyone said what it's called.
@@rosejune1995-r7t same. People throwing up clips but not putting where they're from. It can't be that hard to put it in the description
@@philliptrotter9660 I agree, if someone is going to put a clip from a TV show they should put the season and episode with it. The clip seemed interesting, but I didn't know what it was from. For all I knew it could have been from a movie.

Absolutely an awesome show. I loved her character in it. Sad when her and Axe (he's one of 2 main characters, not her) broke up. But she was a 'ride or die' wife. And fine too!!
When I was 3 or 4, I was at church in my school, and i slipped off the wooden benches and hit my head on the one in front of me.
The teacher refused to let me leave church to see the school nurse. My head was bleeding, and I was really dizzy.
When I finally got to the school nurse, he told me to stop crying because it wasn't that bad.
That memory stuck with me forever because it hurt so much.
Head injuries should always be taken very seriously… 😔
oh you poor girl. You hut yourself.And no one give you a loli
I love how she has already thrown up once, but they still have her on her back instead of her side.
Okay, you do realize this isn’t actual footage of the incident, but a recreation, right?
That was my thoughts too. Didnt even have her in the recovery position
That "Bye" at the end was so satisfying 😂
My public school was TINY, biggest class was 20 strong and we were all mostly lower-middle class farming families. We had a public nurse on hand, and even if she wasn't available on the rare day, there were First Responders in the school that served as Teacher's Aides. The hell is this place's excuse?
This is a TV show, and it's not realistic. When I taught public school, we had designated first responders trained in First Aid and CPR, and the classes for those were offered for free at the school. So if the nurse was out, we still had someone available for emergencies.
@@lindenpeters2601 It is realistic in many schools.
Thanks to budget cuts many schools no longer have a nurse. They're lucky to have one once a week.
I had really bad period cramps during high school (later found out I had PCOS and Endo) but I’d go to the nurse in so much pain and nauseated to lay down and she’d let me lay there for 10 minutes or so, no heating pad or anything. Then she’d send me back to class. No exceptions, no call home, nothing. I also had horrible migraines, bad enough that I couldn’t be in the classrooms or around loud sounds so I had to go lay in the dark, ibuprofen didn’t help (it was the only medication I was cleared to carry myself). She told me to lay down in the dark, take ibuprofen. These migraines could last hours. Every 10 minutes she’d open the door, shining bright light from out in the main nurses office on me and go “how are you feeling?” And NO she wasn’t quiet about it.
I’d also have to almost be in tears for her to let me call home.
Not as bad as some of the stories on here but she wasn’t a competent nurse, even if she was licensed. She also had absolutely no bedside manner or empathy.
When I was graduated, I figured out all these things that were happening like the PCOS and Endo and chronic migraines but it was a bit too late for it to make a difference at school.
I truly am amazed how some people are able to pass nursing school and them exams. Makes me think nursing school would be a cake walk for me
My sister wasn't allowed to keep her inhaler on her when we were in school. She had an attack and I had to run across campus and almost had to fight the "nurse" to get it and run it back to my sister. Years later I still get worked up thinking about it. That shit was scary she was starting to turn blue. And yes I did end up getting on campus suspension for insubordination, which my mom raised holy hell about.
yet you were still suspended?
@@Moosetick2002 I may have screamed some rather unsavory things st her about her weight and why she couldn't run herself
@@Badpoison1 ah. The most reasonable response to a medical emergency is to call someone fat. It doesn’t seem like you accidentally left that part out.
@@Moosetick2002 I was 12
@@Badpoison1I completely understand. if I was in your situation I wouldn’t trust anyone but myself to get my sibling their medication. Adrenaline would definitely make you run faster than anyone else during that event. Also don’t worry about stupid people in the comments. They obviously don’t have any real experience with medical emergencies to try and shame you for what you said as a scared minor.
Unfortunately, I had to have a talk with a school nurse about her administering medication to a child who was having 104°F fever and she said she was legally not allowed to even if it's a prescription unless the doctor signed a note ahead of time with the prescription to allow her to administer. The best the school nurses can do now, is to send kids to the ER of the situation worsens. Thats the reality. School nurses have their hands, neck, and knowledge tied up by what they are legally allowed pr not allowed to do with thier licensure ln the line. What I'm not sure about is how the Good Samaritan law would come into play if someone else takes action under an emergency, which this situation is.
😮
Wtf is a child with 104° fever doing in school?
@@Mikyda3 I was a little concerned as well but I did my research and for children up to a certain age, because their body temperature is higher than adults, their fevers register higher as well, and 104°F is the cut off and is normal. However, as the school nurse explained to me, the moment the fever registers as even slightly higher than that, it will be instant trip to ER. The mother explained the child only seemed mildly sick so he was sent to school while the parents had to do an emergency trip to a Pennsylvania to visit relatives. They rushed back as soon as I called and told them.
That's bullshit. My kids were not actively sick but had some lingering cough, and I sent in medicine to be given and had no problems. No doctors note, no special paperwork. Should not endanger or inconvenience your child for lazy people. When you have competent people working in a school setting, you have peace of mind.
So why pay for a school nurse if they can’t even give a prescribed medication to a child. Instructions are on the bottle. If it’s because they don’t know if the child already had a dose of whatever medication it is, they can call the parents to verify.
My brother's school tried to make him administer it himself, he was 11, they literally stood and waited for him to do it
OMG!! Were they going to just let him die!?
@staceyjohnson4436 Sometimes a school can't interfere with any medical conditions that can also affect the schools reputation and if the school does help but mess up like her in the vid then the school would be responsible for the kid other than the kid or their parents being responsible for themselves and therefore can be sued or popularity decreases.
@@staceyjohnson4436 nah my mum came in and did it, he carried it himself for the rest of the time at that school
@@falltuneu9563 I'd agree with you if they weren't trained on how to use an epi pen
@@falltuneu9563
Oh nonsense, how much more trouble would the school be in if they let the kid die?! Besides that you have public schools that are allowed to shuffle a young pregnant girl, offer an abortion, without even telling the parents!
I had a heart stroke in high school. The school nurse was busy picking out color swatches for her office redo to help a poor kid who was passed out in the bathroom and couldn't feel her legs, so I was given a mountain dew and a nap. No one took me to the hospital. No one called anyone, including my parents. I still have trouble with dehydration and trying to handle heat.
Sad part is I've seen doctors that are even more incompetent than that school nurse. Had one try to order me to give blood thinner to a man having a stroke. Long story short, the man had just been released from a hosp after having stents placed for a LDA MI (heart attack in the most critical artery in the heart). He came home and began having chest pain again. The Medic tried to take him back to the hospital where he had the stents placed but the family intervened and demanded he be taken to the local ER that had no cath lab. The family even called his medical control and complained and the doc insisted they take him to the local, even after the medic explained he was having another MI and proved it with the 12 lead. I was called, shocker here, transport him emergently back to where he had the stents placed, almost 2 hours away. It turns out the ER had given him 2 doses of TPA after he had already been taken coumadin(serious blood thiner). I walk in and without talking to him, spot the hemorrhagic stroke. I do an evaluation and report it to the ER doc who is freaking out. He tells me to give him nitro and another dose of clot busters. I flat out tell him NO, he needs to be flown and have a CT while waiting on the helicopter to pinpoint the bleed. After the charge nurse, who agreed with me btw, and I both told him the same thing, he finally agreed to call a helicopter, but only after I flat out refused to transport him and the county EMS did the same after I talked with their director. The doc finally agreed to do the CT after the pt went unconscious. Shocker, he had a massive bleed in the rt occipital lobe, exactly where I told them it would be.
That literally sounds like a very specific episode of House MD
@@captainsinclair7954 I really wish it had been, unfortunately I can give dates and hospitals if needed, besides, a TV show loke House wouldn't have made a Paramedic or nurse be the one to try to stop a dumbass doctor.
My daughter is a diabetic and she carried a glucagon pen in case of emergencies and the school knew if she needed a shot and no one was there who could give her one they could ask her brother to come give it to her. One day the teacher refused to let my daughter have her snack because she was acting bad (she was acting bad BECAUSE she needed her snack and was having low blood sugars) the teacher then sent my daughter by herself to the principal's office because of her bad behavior and my daughter ended up falling down the steps because she passed out. By the time I got to the school she was in a diabetic coma. After we got out of the hospital, I removed both of my kids from the public school system and home schooled them. Best decision I ever made.
As a fellow diabetic.. THIS is disgustingly horrible! I am so sorry for her and for you. She could’ve died in their “care” over a stubborn teacher!
you sued the ever living shit out of them right? right
@@taichiarasoi776 I was about to say the same thing!
Please tell me you sued
At least call out the “Teacher” to the community!
I had this issue with a tick... a teacher couldnt take the responsibilty of removing it from my child. By the time i arrived, the tick had started digging in. Another mom was incensed because she said that the tick hadn't penetrated the skin when they first called. Soooo dumb.
Upon arriving, i removed it safely and did all the things. Other parents got mad because i did it myself instead of letting a nurse or doctor do it.
Crazy times.
All the rules and liability things to protect themselves, but in the meantime, a person can die without immediate care! (i dont mean my kid with the tick. But this allergy situation presented in this show)
When I was 11 I slipped on a pencil in the hall at school rolling my ankle bad. I was complaining for days to the school nurse and my mom who kept telling me I was fine and exaggerating. After about a week of me constantly complaining my mom finally took me to the Dr to get xrays. Part of my ankle and bones in my foot were fractured. At that point the only thing they could do was have me wear an air cast for a while. I'm now 36 and it's still messed up to this day. I haven't been able to run since from it being improperly healed.
Don’t worry if the child passes then ‘Lessons would be learned’ and the ‘schools thoughts and prayers’ would be with the family.
I had something like this happen to me in 4th grade. Teacher told me to " stop milking it" when I collapsed at her feet after she made me RUN the mile. I have bad lungs and wasn't supposed to run long periods...
The next thing I remember is being dragged to my feet as I gasped for breath, staggering with my arm over someone's shoulder. Hearing someone screaming for someone. then being scooped up and carried . My next coherent memory is of being able to breathe in the nurse's office and seeing the boy in my class who had bullied me since 1st grade sitting in his older brother's arms.
As I understand it from hearing their mother and my mother screaming at our teacher. He'd reacted to my turning blue by trying to get me to the nurse's office. Caught sight of the high-school students changing classes, and screamed for his eldest brother who had carried me to the Nurse's office. This was in the 90s
I fully get what you're saying and 100% side with you and I'm not making excuses for the teacher but how did they make you run the mile? I always walked mine. They can't physically force you to run. You chose to oblige.
Let me put it to you this way, the private Christian school i attended started at 830 but mandatory worship started at 730. I was given a choice of connecting colleges and universities to attend in 6th, and firmly believed that they were my only options. I was made to believe that any bad grade I got from kindergarten upwards would affect my chances of getting in and behavioral misconduct would decrease my chances of being admitted. My school was an environment where men were allowed to wear watches and their wedding ring wearing any other jewelry was a ticket to hell. Women were allowed their wedding ring and what people would consider a base layer of make up. My skirt had to cover my ankles or be a specific length past the knee. My teachers could check the distance with a measure whenever they decided to.
If you were late to class you had to go to the front desk and pay $2 dollars for the slip that allowed you into class.
I don't remember the particular threat that made me comply in this case. But my school was strict and attached to a church that was also strict as hell and I was already socially isolated because I was already doomed to go to hell because I attended a different church that worshipped god on Sunday rather then Saturday.
In short indoctrination and fear
Actually, thinking back on what I was taught in that school ( it was the best in our area) how long it took me to unlearn a lot of it and how my worldview is still affected by it to this day ... I wonder if my mother unknowingly enrolled me in a cult
@@itssammiesakran if you didn’t run in our school, or at least make a good faith effort to get under the timeline/time limit, they made you do it again every day and treated you like dirt and mocked you publicly. despite having fairly severe have asthma, I didn’t have an official you shouldn’t run diagnosis or document with the school, so it was a gray area for me. I had to do the same run a mile type test at a whole bunch of different levels in a different school settings. and if you can’t do the mile, they’re not allowed to put you on a varsity team, and we didn’t have any non-Varsity, gymnastics, so if you didn’t try to do the test, even walking half of it, it could really mess up your life as a student. One year I got seconds like two seconds under the maximum time limit and they were OK with that because they knew I was doing the best I could. The following year I was nearly a minute over, and one of the things they were adamant about was that everybody had to walk one more lap around the track after running to cool down. No sitting no collapsing on the lawn.. They were looking at their watch to see the time we’re starting to look up as they were telling me your time is 12:31 or something like that so you’re gonna need to go sit down now. They were in the process of telling me I was going to need to test again after some work, but they made me be flat and somebody ran and got me water and an ice pack and things to try to make me look a little less scary. They tried to practically carry me into the gym once I set up again. Thing is I was actually not as bad as I’ve been at other times, I just looked horrible. The water helped. They did not make me do it again. They did make me sit in the nurses office for an hour after gym class, but they didn’t have the ability to offer me a breathing treatment without me, declaring myself and severe distress and I wasn’t. I was tired, I was coughing a bit. I had used my inhaler, but that group in particular handled it about as well as anyone can, for someone who didn’t have the right kind of paperwork, this was late 90s, paperwork like that was newish, they did a phenomenal job at that school. When less than a decade later, I was teaching, we didn’t even have a school nurse most days of the week. And they had this lovely policy where you weren’t even allowed to carry your own inhaler on you so if you’re having an asthma attack, you need to run down to the nurses office to get It, but isn’t there, so person is locatable with a key to the nurses office so that they can hopefully find your inhaler out of a massive disorganized filing cabinet of students and hope it’s the right medication. But if you’re caught carrying your own inhaler even for asthma or EpiPen or, things that are an emergency response medication, you can be expelled for carrying drugs. Because apparently there’s distinction between emergency rescue medication and heroin. At least not according to the school. I don’t agree with, but understand not letting people carry their own Advil, or pills that you take at a certain time of day, but an emergency rescue medication doesn’t do much good if you can’t have it on you to rescue yourself.
@@itssammiesakrannot sure how old you are or where you went to school, in all the rural schools I went to in the early 80s, if you did not run that mile or do all those sit ups or any of the other ctap in gym class you could get a failing grade even if you have undiagnosed asthma or other breathing issues due to allergies and could not do even a 1/4 mile without feeling like your lungs were going to bust. It did not help that these requirements were not built up to throughout the year. My mom had was pissed off when she saw the D in gym. Most of the grade was based on these things I had no ability to do because I could not breath.

Thank you!!!!!🙏
You're a gem, thank you
Thank you!
This is why I’m grateful my youngest child’s school still keeps an actual RN for their school nurse. She has aided in getting rescue for my child when she began her first seizures (also thankful for her teacher who had family with seizure disorder so she recognized the signs of one and when she was about to have one.) I also tend to not change my kids so they know if the school won’t reach me then they call as I will go to war for them any day.
My daughter came home from school back in the 80s. The minute she hit the door i knew she was sick. She had chicken pox. I reamed the teacher the next day. We had problems with this teacher before. My daughter brought home a paper with her sister's name circled in red. She had done a story about her. Kept telling her it was misspelled. I went in and corrected her. As no other words were misspelled why did she think that her own sister's name would be.
I had to stop carrying my lunch into my classroom due to a child's allergy to peanuts. (And yes, I basically just ate a peanut butter sandwich for lunch every day.) I had a training and kept an epi pen in my top drawer for this kid. At the end of the year party, I had to make sure NOTHING had nuts in it. His mom walks in with cookies that have nuts in them. I was shocked, turns out she lied. He didn't have an allergy to peanuts, he just coughed once, while eating a P&J sandwich, so thought he might have one. Sigh. I changed everything for this mom. I told the principal I didn't want ANY of the siblings, EVER. If memory serves there were like 6 of them.
WOW.. I thought they require a doctor's signed note
Allergies .must be documented by a doctor and medication must be provided at school. Peanut/ tree nut allergies would be begin a school wide ban on peanuts and tree nuts.
I had a teacher claim I lied about my son’s nut allergies. He’s not allergic to peanuts. He is allergic to walnuts, pecans, almonds, and other tree nuts.
Maybe Mom was being cautious. Maybe Mom lied. Most schools wouldn’t allow anyone to bring potential nut allergens to protect kids that know or don’t yet know about their allergies. What you did may have helped others.
@@lesliebowden5739 So until someone goes and pays a Dr to write a note, their child will be exposed to potentially lethal poisons (to them) while at school?
@Moosetick2002 We can't protect children unless we know how. A doctor must communicate a treatment plan. It is a liability for the school/ district if it is not documented. I have had parents tell me their child is allergic to something when, in fact, they just didn't like it. I have serious allergies and do not take those things lightly. I carry an epi-pen because I have anaphylaxis, which is life threatening. So yeah, the people who need to know, must know! My students know if I have a problem and cannot speak, my epi-pen is in my teacher bag and 2 students take it to my neighbor teacher to call for help. My team, students, and my family know my plan.
I've been a nurse for over 32 years. I have worked in so many different areas from oncology, to trauma surgical intensive Care unit, to many many other experiences. Sandwiched in the middle of my nursing journey, I was The school nurse for a kindergarten through 12th grade school system which had three separate buildings. I was employed in that position for 3 years. It was hands down the hardest job I've ever done as a nurse. You are the only medical person within an entire school system. Everyone expects you to know everything and to do everything related to not only the student's health needs but faculty health. I loved the students I was positioned to care for. I loved the faculty and made many friends within that school system. But the stress from that job literally was unparalleled to me. Even working in the trauma surgical intensive care unit in Detroit which was extreme stress was a close second to my school nurse job. Lol. I know I sound dramatic but truly when you are The one that everyone is looking to for the healthcare needs of precious little souls, you have the utmost obligation to care for them to the best of your ability that God has given you. And when you have no one there to back you up and many many expectations from scenes like this, to kids coming in with complex fractures from the playground, to kids infested with the most neglected situations of head lice, to children coming in and confiding terribly traumatic abuse situations to you... It is not a job for the lighthearted. I know there's a lot of jokes that are made regarding school nurses I've heard them all. But to me as a nurse, I know first hand that this is one of the most underrated and underpaid positions that a nurse could accept the responsibility for ever in their career. Hats off to all the school nurses. It's a very difficult job and we need good nurses to fill those positions. 💗💗💗🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
never had school nurses growing up, so i have no interesting story to share on the subject. just very appreciative of when a medical professional who knows their shit takes charge.

Did the parents tell her about their daughter's allergy? About the epi pen? Well?
@jimbrown4640 thats found in the students medical file.
@@Denozo88Who puts it in their school medical file?
@jimbrown4640 when kids are enrolled in schools all required immunizations and known allergies are listed.
@@Denozo88 My wife is a school health clerk. The parents make her aware of problem with their kids. If this health clerk/nurse, in this fictional movie, did not know about the allergy and epi pen, that is on the parents. BTW, the kid wasn’t even aware of how to avoid eating the problem ingredients.
How are you not allowed to administer life saving medication in a school? I worked as a daycare teacher for 9 years. We weren't allowed to give our students motrin or tylenol to help with a fever for example. But we absolutely were allowed to give medication prescribed by a doctor as treatment for a condition (like say antibiotics for an ear infection or an inhaler for asthma). In our CPR training we also had to learn how to administer the EpiPen. Even with a school nurse on the premise, all teachers should be trained in this.
Literally ANYONE can use an epinpen. My daughter was 9 when she found me on our deck barely breathing with several bee stings. I carried an epipen in my gardening apron which was 10 feet away draped over a tree branch. She administered the shot then called 911. Easy peasy. ❤
Thank God for great nurses 🙏 they are angels on earth ❤
"my cousin will be here in 45 minutes fully licensed"
"Bye" what she really meant was "girl you still standing here😂😂😂
This makes me so thankful for my daughter's school nurse. She's amazing! She actually listens to the student's complaints, communicates with parents, keeps up to date on students with allergies or illnesses and advocated for the health and wellbeing of the students. ❤
My brother's school called my mom after administering his epi-pen, and hadn't called the hospital until after she yelled at them. They refused to admit wrongdoing and almost got my brother killed. The nurse was yelled at by several members of my family and so was the school's principal. They now take extreme care with allergens.
My temperature has run lower all my life. Most people are 98.6. I run 97.3 and have for 40 years. So in junior high when I tried explaining to my school nurse that my 103 fever was life threatening she gave me Tylenol and told me go back to class. The school ended up paying for the ambulance when they had to be called.
Back in high school I stayed after school to refine a chemistry experiment. One of my fellow students (still unknown), got a syringe and sprayed about 20 cc of 100% hydrochloric acid on my jeans, then ran out of the class. It rapidly ate thru the denim and into my leg. The chemical shower was out of order, so I had to climb onto the lab table to use the lab faucet to wash my leg down. Went down to the office to see the school nurse only to discover that she kept only normal class hours - when the school end bell rings, she goes home. Ended up with a 1/2" x 1" 3rd degree chemical burn with a larger less serious injury area.
Where was the chem teacher? Talking with another teacher two classes over. We were not using any hazardous chemicals that day (or that week for the matter). Whoever sprayed the acid on me premeditated it and got it out of the storage room. The chem teacher was totally pissed when he found out and chewed out the class the next day, threatening charges to whoever did it.
That's like the nurse at my college. Her office hours are 10 to 5. 10 to 4 on Fridays. I remember one day on campus a girl was having an asthma attack. Don't remember the full details, I think her inhaler wasn't helping her that's why she got carried to the nurse. It was after 5 in the evening. And the nurse wasn't in. Thats when I found out that she worked from 10 to 5, and that there werent other nurses who would be there on like a second shift. And the annoying thing about the nurse's hours is that she doesn't seem to be there 3/4 of the time. I've gone to try and see her several times over the past 4 years and she's only seen me three times.
"got a syringe and sprayed about 20 cc of 100% hydrochloric acid on my jeans,.. . It rapidly ate thru the denim and into my leg."--
Hydrocloric acid will not "rapidly" dissolve demin. It wont dissolve cotton but it could weaken them eventually. More likely it would soak into the material and contact your skin that way.
I am not saying it didnt happen but... if I received third degree burns by an acid that rapidly dissolved my clothing I would definitely remember what it was, and it most certainly WASNT HCl.
Everyone thinks HCl is the "most dangerous" acid because it is a "strong" acid with a 0 pH. That just means it fully dissociates in water.
Thus usually when someone wants to make up an acid story about "dissolving" or "burning" they use HCl out of ignorance.
Syringe? Did you see it? Afterchool hours? A school lockdown would prob have found it in a garbage can...
100% HCl ? I hope that is a typo. 100% hydrochloric acid is definitely a dangerous chemical, I’ve spilt a drop 10M HCl (31%) on my arm once and it itched like crazy, I had to run to a nearby sink to get it off and it still left a pink mark, I’m fairly certain that 100% HCl actually fumes hydrogen chloride gas. I flat out refuse to use anything above 10% HCl without full protection including arm length gloves and goggles
I had a cardiac event in gym just before my 18th birthday. Not only did we have a nurse on staff, but I was good friends with her. I can honestly say I might not be here if not for my classmates running to her office to get her and her keeping me stable until first responders showed up! I was in the critical care unit for a week!
This happens sadly all the time. When I was a kid, even after my mum had SEVERAL meetings with school administration about listening to me when I told them I felt sick, they continued to ignore me. One morning I was already dehydrated and having a mild allergic reaction, threw up repeatedly in the toilet and my teacher refused to send me home because I had "probably got it out of my system"
Not only did she not send me home, she sent me out onto the field for sports that afternoon, on one of the hottest days of the year, made me run laps, then wouldn’t let me go back in to get my drink refilled because only one person could go back in at a time (she would always pick out someone else and send them in to refill before I got the chance). I threw up pure white foam in front of her and she still had to be convinced by another student to even let me go back inside, and then wouldn’t call my mum because it was "nearly the end of the day anyway" (it was an hour away from pickup; I slept for about 15 hours when I finally got home and needed three days off school to recover).
She still works at that school to this day, meanwhile I have PTSD from that and other shit she put me through and can't cope with being the slightest bit warm because it puts me right back there 👍 Since it apparently needs saying, for the love of God, if you don’t like kids, DON'T BECOME A TEACHER
I’m sorry you went through that and glad you’re okay now ❤
How the school keeps her ? Horror. Sorry for what cruel attitude she put u through
I had a teacher Mrs. Butler, who bullied me in 6th grade, 54 years ago. Pulled several types of crap like that. To this day I wonder if she’s still alive so I could look her up and let her know how her favoritism and nastiness she pulled on me stayed with me to this day. My mother had been on a state evaluation team and had reviewed this teachers classroom and ‘methods’. And Mrs. Butler took her displeasure of the report results out on me.
@evansmom3 yeah, I think unfortunately some teachers are just beyond petty like that. The teacher I referenced hated me because I interrupted her on the first day of school. She started class with a 'relaxed get to know each other' thing where you had to share a story about something that happened to you over the school break; I shared that my rabbit had died. She clearly didn't like that I chose something 'grim', and cut me off mid sentence to move on to the next person, I then interrupted her back to get out the literal three extra words I wanted to say, and I just saw a switch flip in her eyes. Can't describe it any other way, but I saw it happen, and she was utterly horrid to me and a few others that she didn't like for their own reasons. I just feel if you take things THAT personally just don't get a job entirely based around working with other people, especially people who are young and not always the most socially aware.

I was 25 weeks pregnant with my first child. I was spotting and felt very uncomfortable. I went to my ob’s office and got in with a different dr. She took one look at me and said I was fine and to take it easy for a few days. I went back less than a week later and was rushed to the hospital because I was in labor at 26 weeks. My dr was livid when she found out that I had been there a week prior and the dr I saw didn’t even touch me, just sent me on my way. I had an emergency C-section the next morning because he was breech and the umbilical cord was at hospital feet. My son’s lungs shouldn’t have been fully developed yet so they warned me that I probably wouldn’t hear him scream when he came out but he came out screaming. They said he had a 60% chance of survival. Someone was looking out for him because he didn’t have any issues at all, he just needed to gain weight. He was in the NICU for 2 months before he was able to come home. If that first Dr did her job, they may have been able to stop my labor and he could’ve stayed inside and kept cooking. I went to my ob for a check up after my pregnancy and found out that dr wasn’t with their practice anymore
Y’all ready for this, my parents are both teachers and they have the okay to administer epipen IF the child is in their classrooms having anaphylactic shock due to an allergic reaction. Mom has no license for it, but she has the paperwork for the child on what they’re allergic to and gets the okay from the guardian and school. Dad is a coach/teacher and he does yearly trainings like BLS and CPR. Honestly it’s all in the training the school provides for teachers and doing it on a yearly basis so they won’t EVER forget. THAT is what a school board needs to do. Cause this, this was absolute horseshit, no matter if it was a show or not cause this happens in real life.
You don’t wait to give an epi pen. Save a life don’t just cya.
In university at CW Post on Long Island in 2012-2013 the running joke was our school doctor would give you Claritin even if you went in for a broken leg. No joke he told me I just had allergies and gave me Claritin… 3 days later I was in an ambulance on the way to the ER because I hadn’t slept in days from pain and by this point couldn’t breathe… I had mono and tonsillitis and needed emergency surgery to get my tonsils out…
I used to tell my school nurse that i got super dizzy and she thought i was faking. I had a brain tumor bigger then a golf ball. I never thought about when she was replaced, but she never rold my parents of my complaints. The timeline adds up.
My youngest grandson was allergic to almost everything so I drove almost a 100 miles 5 days a week to watch him. No way leaving him with educated idiots in any daycare. He finally grew out of most of them but seeing a 3 month old go from normal To non-responsive in minutes was horrifying until they figured out he was allergic to everything but breast milk. He’s a teenager today! 😊
My son school nurse made him stay in school for one whole day after he broke his elbow and wrist playing football gave him an ice pack and send him back to class my son holding in the pain all day and couldn’t even hold on to his lunch tray. When I picked him up from school that day I was furious and drove my son straight to the ER. He had X-rays done and a cast put on that day. On Monday the following week I went in and caused a storm in the principals office.
When I used to work with kids we all took a training on how to identify a reaction and assist with Epi pens it was helpful and informative and all staff received the training
Anybody else hear that "b*tch" at the end of that BYE. Cause I heard that loud and clear. 😂
For those who might hear non-sense. Specially since the pandemic everyone has heard of pulse oxymeter. The range is not 0-100%. By the time you get to 60-70% its brain injury space.
A seemingly healthy person who gets anywhere lower than 94% needs oxygen therapy. Confusion, delirium starts very soon in this space. People with COPD only can be at 88-92% because their body has been low on oxygen for DECADES so their body adjusted and now too much oxygen could stop them breathing. But anyone else whos body is not used to that?
Dont let anyone ever tell you 90-92% is fine. EVER. You could be minutes away from a complete crash. The moment breathing deteriorates - a cardiac arrest is highly likely, one thing triggers another. Nurses are trained to understand AIRWAY, BREATHING, CIRCULATION. Because the moment airway os blocked, you die. The airway is partly blocked and breathing muscles engage? (Hospital - for the love of god dont drive them. an ambulance has oxygen, you need it. You dont know how long they had all muscles working on breathing, shoulders, back, that spends energy, the more exercise more oxygen you need so its a vicious cycle, so the body can deteriorate SO fast. Minutes. Specially if some egomaniac with a degree who hasnt kept up with their training hasnt called you to come get your kid until he cant even speak.)
It definitely is 0-100%. You ever seen a RSI in the ER when RT is fucking around and not paying attention after the doc gives the paralytic?…that SPO2 dropped to 33% real quick lol
I work in a hospital and approve this message.
This! so much this! It was so difficult for me to explain just how physically exhausting it was just trying to breathe during an asthma attack. And then feeling sore all over my upper torso afterward, like I had done a really intense gym workout and was sore. Lots of people don't understand it can be more than just wheezing sounds.
Sop in schools is when in doubt give the shot including narcan as well. In the end the possible harm for giving these emergency medication is is severely outweighed by the risk of them dying. All as an educator in az it is to my knowledge we are all trained to administer these to medications when needed and call 911
You can give anybody narcan, it doesn’t cause a reaction or any harm. It only works if the body is under the attack of opioids.
@SBayne762 all medications carry a risk of harm. If you don't know this then please stop responding
@@zachfreedom644quit cherry picking... yes there are some ppl that are allergic to narcan. But its rare and also not a severe reaction, even tylenol can kill some ppl if you want to split hairs.
My question us why didn't the 911 operator tell them to administer it since most 911 operators will walk you through emergency care if needed. Regardless administration of an epi pen requires a hospital visit
@@zachfreedom644nah, he's right. You should probably sit out for a few plays.
My first day of second grade right after the teacher explained what anaphylaxis was and asked if any of us kids had it. She gave us trail mix and I went into anaphylaxis but the teacher forgot in the 20 minutes span of break time she made that speech. Great thing my parents were already on the way to pick me up and going to the er for themselves. So I got admitted to the er as well 😂 and I lived and now get to carry 2 epipens everywhere I go
I can name two separate occasions
1. For context, i had unhealed fractures on my ankles, so I would sprain them easily. Anyway, sprained my ankle before school, was literally WHEELED to the nurse, crying in pain, and she wouldn’t call my mom or give me an ice pack, a bandage, or crutches. Sent me off to class after 3 periods passed. Showed up the next day with crutches and a brace.
2. I used to get these extremely painful stomachaches. I called my mom everyday to bring me medicine, because the nurse didn’t allow me to have medicine, because she thought I was faking. Turns out, after 6 years, my gallbladder had everything wrong with it, and I’m still figuring out why I’m getting infections in my stomach.
Also, I used to wear a wrist brace a lot, because, apparently, I had an unhealed broken wrist and it caused a lot of pain. I had a cyst removed and went to therapy for it. Three times I went to therapy. Still am weak in my left hand and I get numbing and stinging pain.
All I wanna say is fuck those two nurses who said I was lying.
If your ever in a situation where you need to administer an epi pent, remember this, blue to the sky, orange to the thigh. You wouldn't believe how many people have accidentally jabbed themselves with an epi pen.
True story: I was driving my truck through Williamsport, PA, about 25 years ago and saw a vehicle cross in front of me across traffic, hit the barrier and cross back across traffic. The driver was stretched out very stiff and shaking. I stopped and got to the car that was wedged against the right barrier, put it in park, and he was sitting in the car, foaming at the mouth and drooling. A young woman (college age) came running up saying she was in nursing school, took one look at him and said he's having a heart attack, we need to get him out of the car. I told her he was NOT having a heart attack and that he was coming out of a seizure. I told her he's safer in the car, belted in because if he goes into full seizure again, he'll be stronger than 10 men and laid on the ground could swallow his tongue. The State Trooper got there and started her heart attack and nurse routine on him. I told him what I saw as he crossed in front of me and he agreed with me and it was confirmed by EMTs when they got there. The "nurse" walked away and I told her to learn to ask the right questions before making a "diagnosis" or rethink her career choice.
People do not and cannot “swallow” their effin tongues.
My daughter has asthma. When she was in middle school, they would not let her carry her inhaler on her. It had to be in the nurses office. She had a bad attack, and she almost didn't make it to the nurses office she almost passed out.
Fortunately, it was one of the last days of school. She went to high school the next year and was allowed to keep her inhaler on her . She is 40 now and still has to have it with her
Malin Ackerman is one of my favorite actresses. She’s beautiful and caring yet tough in all her roles !!
I had a co-worker who was choking. She allowed me to do the abdominal thrusts just before she passed out. Several co-workers passed by my office and did nothing. One even questioned the next day "what was I doing?" We need more people aware and involved.
This happened to us except with asthma. The nurse refused to treat an active attack and told my daughter to wait in line. Her excuse was that the phone call was more important. The crazier part was she was the nurse’s sub. We took the issue before the board of ed and their excuse was my daughter was wrong because she took her meds without permission.
THIS!!!!! In Texas, schools do NOT have to employ a LICENSED nurse!!!! How do I know???? The school "nurse" called me one day to tell me that she thought my son had broken his leg. She wanted to know if I wanted her to call an ambulance. I asked a few very basic questions such as, "does he still have a pulse in the extremity?" To which she responded, "I have no idea? How would I know?" I threw a fit!!!!!!! Basic medical knowledge!!!!! I learned that when I was 12!!!!
You can have a broken leg and a pulse in that extremity so ... not sure what this has to do with whether you wanted your child sent to the hospital by ambulance or if you preferred to go to the school and drive the child yourself.
TIL.
A broken limb does not immediately mean they won't have a pulse.
@@deborawagner7657that’s true but I think you’re missing why she asked the nurse that. A broken limb doesn’t mean you’ll lose a pulse but if there’s no pulse and a broken limb(does happen sometimes) that’s a medical emergency. She would need to go via ambulance asap otherwise you could lose the limb. Basic nursing 101 stuff right there
Then you also should have learned what the Schools in Texas will and will not do and they are and not required to have on site. Getting mad at the person who contacted you wasn't right.
As a UK teacher I received training on how to administer an epi 🖊️ so grateful
I had to give my friend her epipen shot in high school because the teacher said only a registered nurse/the person themselves was allowed to administer the medication (because of liability and how expensive they are). As someone else with a severe allergy, I knew what anaphylaxis looked like, and I knew my friend was having a reaction, so I just snuck it out of her backpack (we both kept ours in the same place) and jammed it in when the teacher got up to call the nurse. My friend ended up in the hospital for a few weeks but she avoided major long term complications because she got the shot in time.
I was in the nurses office to pick up my sick daughter & I overheard a little girl tell the nurse through tears that she off of the slide and landed on her arm. Her elbow hurt her so bad. This nurse (an actual RN) was scared to touch her & didnt even know how to put on a sling. She kept turning it around like it was some weird torture device. I was an out-of practice EMT, license expired years before, calmed the girl, put on the sling without hurting her and gave her an ice pack. Told the nurse to call her mom cause she should get an xray. The nurse was pissed when I told my bill would be in the mail. Not all of them but most if the school nurses aren't even certified in the medical field and the ones that are don't use their practical skills often enough and it shows.
When my son was 7, he broke his arm badly and had nerve damage. I spoke at length to the school nurse about all the things before he returned to school after the surgery and hospitalization. His first day back she called to tell me he had fallen but was ok: "don't worry, he's fine - he can wiggle all his fingers", which must be something she just says to worried parents. In his case of course, he literally could not wiggle his fingers and that is why I was so worried in the first place.
I was having a serious allergic reaction in Walmart. I asked 2 employees for help. They ignored me. I complained to the manager later. A year later, I had a low blood sugar episode. A young, male cashier got me a chair, a soda (which I paid for) and got the manager, who stayed with me until my sister came. Apparently they took my complaint seriously.
Sever allergy to bees here. I carry an epipen just in case something happens. I will try to avoid it if i can. This has caused me to accidentally slam the drive thru window in someones face before. I was in back drive so i told the people up front that i would have to switch places with someone because of the bee flying around the window. I was told no one could switch but cash out would be done up front untill the bee left. It took 17 cars before it "left". Turns out a small beehive was located in one of the trees in the back lot later that day. It was safely transplanted else where and there hasnt been a bee problem since.
