in America: idk, we have a cot in the back if you want to lay down. no Tylenol though. God forbid we gave you medicine that your parents didn't leave here specifically for you to take. that's against the law.
@@hoptoit5910 that's why I carry a small tin of ibuprofen and Tylenol in my bag. if anyone has a headache, I'll give them some. I try to get name brand so the name of the medicine is written on the pill so no one thinks I'm trying to poison them. at least the nurses will give me hand warmers if I have cramps, which helps
In Ontario, Canada… NO nurse. NO health room. Have a headache?… have a big drink of water, take a quick walk, see how you feel after snack/ recess/ lunch/ (whatever is about 1/2 an hour away)… STILL have a headache - call home to be picked up. ALL of which is dealt with by the classroom teacher (sometimes the school secretary). During pandemic - headache? Isolate. Call home. Go home. 😩
One time they said they couldn't give it to me because I wasn't 16, it was the day before my 16th birthday. Then they said that period pains aren't that bad, said I was trying to have them on and it's summin all women have to deal with, and then they'd never believe I was ill or in pain
I once threw up on my way there, then the lady lied to my mum, downplaying what was going on so mum said I could stay in school, (she'd said I'd thrown up water once, I'd had about 5 different runs to the bathroom to throw up.) My friends had to get the assistant head teacher - who was also our maths teacher- to get the lady to ring my mum again and tell her what was going on. Once she knew the full story, I was sent home
Well for us they have to my mom pays miscellaneous a.k.a money u pay to the school for extra things that may be needed (ex: water and medicine) so if they don’t give medicine we are allowed to tell the teacher or your mom and even the principal themselves if the refuse to give the medicine (also payin miscellaneous is required yet we still have to pay extra money for school field trips and to buy food from the canteen- no free lunch as well.)
Ours can't even pull out a splinter never mind medicine! They only bring medicine on residentials (overnight trips). In school we can only have it if our parents give it to school, as prescribed medications only!! If you have a headache they ask you to get a drink, and if it gets worse then they give you a fancy ha- Sick bowl, so yeah school kinda sucks!
Never forget when I hit my head really hard on a coat hook in the 4th grade and my teacher quickly sent me and a friend to the nurse (it case I passed or something) and the nurse was more worried at the fact that we didn’t have a note and that the friend was there than me hitting my head
When I was in grade 3 we tried to see how high we could stack the chairs. I don't remember how many we got, but it was at least 1.5x my hight. I was playing under them when they all fell on me. Same thing happened as it did with you. I felt weird all day and actually did pass out when I got home. I was never taken to a doctor or anything. I was just kinda fine the next day.
During the last two years, if anybody was feeling unwell. It doesn't even matter what. They sent you home because you could have had COVID. But before that, you just had to keep acting like something was up, like headache or stomach ache, they would send you home after 15 minutes or so.
my nurse is friends with my mom and they know each other pretty well and she always lets me have advil whenever i ask for it (she still has me ask my mom but my mom always says its fine)
They basically call you a liar. I remember my sister needed urgent medical attention and they just made out she was exaggerating her pain level... Next, she's on the floor, unresponsive.
Where's the damp blue roll they put on EVERYTHING?! Brought back memories of my Grammar school days, where even if you went in with an arm bending the wrong way and they'd put blue roll on it 🤣🤣🤣
in australia - public schools absolutely do not give 2 shits if your sick and want to go home, but private schools on the other hand, they do everything in their power to make you stay at that school no matter what.
bro i remember once i was on my period and i forgot to bring pills my cramps were rlly bad so i went to the office and they wouldn’t give me anything they just sent me back to my lesson
I had an amazing nurse at my old school that really cared about the students. You had a headache that made you not be able to concentrate in class? You could choose if you wanted some medicine or if you wanted to go home. Feeling nauseous? Go home. Scraped your knee up really bad while falling? Have a bandage and go home. Having a bad day and crying a lot? Go home. She was awesome :)
at my school, the nurses aren’t allowed to give out medicine, as they don’t have parental permission, but they can give you a wet paper towel and a lie down in a dark room
Damn these type of nurses don't even care about why we might want to go home ! When i was in middle school i had a lot of panic attacks at school and one day i went for the thousand time to the nurse office ( we just had a new nurse and i didn't know her) and the nurse instead of being mean and just like in the video, she sat me down, gave me tissues and apple juice and had me talk about what was wrong which i hadn't been able to do with anyone else. She literally saved me ❤️
Man I must’ve had a really good school nurse because they always took my chronic migraines seriously and allowed me to rest and would send me home if needed. Thankfully eventually got medication to help
At my old school I was unable to breathe and the school nurse just told me to sit on a chair and breathe. They also gave a kid having a seizure an ice pack.
@@xXJaneRoseXx yep, actually happened. We had a couple of incidents where they even shooed ambulances away because ‘they didn’t sign in’. Honestly I’m surprised too
@@jaq8997 THEY WHAT!? Bruh that school is so F- DUMB WHY DO FIRST RESPONDERS NEED TO WASTE THEIR TIME SIGNING IN OR NOT BE ABLE TO HELP THE KID!? The brain can only last without oxygen for about 3 to 5 minutes before they are ,,brain dead,,
In my secondary they asked me every single time if I had any allergies to the medication and the nurse was actually so sweet. She really cared for every student and would personally come with a wheelchair and a helping hand whenever my friend collapsed during college
I’m so glad I went to a private high school in the US.. public school nurses cannot give you medicine, but private school nurses will. I have had chronic migraines since childhood, and having the ability to get medicine from the nurse’s office when I needed it was a godsend
Next time they say they don’t feel well, please ask for their hand sympathetically, rub it and say “you feel good to me”. Classic, and it actually happened to me.
Nurses be like drink some water and have an ice pack for literally every reason literally a person would faint they’ll say have a glass of water like I would be a better nurse than that 😂
Here in the US thats grounds for a bag of ice and a swift rest of your eyes in the darker cot area in the nurses office. By law they can't hand out over the counter medicine or even sunscreen in elementary schools🤦♀️
So amazing to see meds being given in a school. Here in the US they’ll strip search you and accuse you of “drug dealing” for sharing an ibuprofen w a classmate. And no that’s not an exaggeration that actually happened to a girl in the US and you can look it up
Okay that's a bit over the top but in general I think it's better if schools don't give out medicines. Many people have allergies and honestly if you have a headache in most cases having a drink and resting is much better than taking pain killers
@@franziskawild6981 I think by high school some Tylenol given by an RN would be fine. I can see not wanting kids to just take it from one another but having the school nurse dispensing OTC seems the best approach. It’s not like the kids can rest while actually in school.
One of my worst migraine of my life happened this way only o was told to go back to class. After school made it to the bottom of our hill and could not walk any further. Thank God my mom friend was coming for a visit found me bottom of the hill head in my hands sobbing my little heart out.
Yup. I was in the top 10 of my class and got in to two Baby Ivy’s and waitlisted for Brown. Teachers loved me. Some of them are my colleagues today. They couldn’t stand her either. She was on a power trip. She hated me from day one, and I her. It was mutual dislike from day one when I refused to leave the office when trying to speak with a counselor about an emergency with a friend as a freshman. Or when my mom came in to change a mistake to my schedule. There were lots of incidents. 20 years later, I’m fairly sure she was behind those issues, too. Then she told me I couldn’t call home (pre handheld cell phones being usual for kids) for a headache the first time I had a migraine…I lost my vision and vomited on her and did hit the floor all at the same time. She wouldn’t even call 911-just stated yelling at me to get up and “act right.” I thought I was literally dying…for “just a headache.” I don’t know who yelled at her but some adult did and called an ambulance (as I couldn’t see at the time). Anyhow, my parents raised hell. My doctor called the principal. It got ugly. She had to be “retrained.” I did end up getting a cell phone after that. Oh, and a teacher high-fived me in front of a class when he heard I had puked on her. Hell, her daughter thought it was great. (Incidentally, we didn’t have NURSES…you share those with about 5 others schools and there were only there 1 morning a week to basically give pregnancy tests and-back then-call and tell their parents). The next year she tried to give me-and about 20 others kids “in school” day long detention because a cow was stuck on our road and made us all late. It was a month before graduating and I wasn’t having her power trip shit. Ironically, her (now ex) husband was the Highway Patrol Officer that answered the call I made. After dealing with the cow he gave me his card “in case we had problems at school.” (He knew his wife all too well). Oh did I call him. He had to call tell his wife and tell her I wasn’t lying. Oh the look on her face….it was glorious. If looks could kill…we’ll, we’d both be dead (they divorced a year later when their youngest left for college). The fact he was the patrolman to get the the bad news to her that, in fact we weren’t lying about the damn cow. He laughed when I had to call him and told him the issue. To this day I believe he truly, truly enjoyed making that call. Later another teacher laughed-found out later he told others in the teacher’s lounge (they didn’t tell me any of this until I became a teacher myself. They called her “Wicked Bitch of the West”…as our school had they name in it). One still tells other teachers the story. She was infamous. Still Is, we brought her up and our 20th reunion. To this day, when she saw me at county meetings (she was moved to another school before she retired) and the grocery store etc she side eyes me. Small towns and connections can be good for getting revenge…
one time i was having really bad period cramps and really wanted to go home because i was in so much pain, got a heat pack for it, threw up in the food tech room and had to be sent back to the nurse's office and sit in one of her bathrooms throwing up in the toilet until my dad arrived to pick me up (also ended up getting diarrhea at the same time which wasn't very fun because i diarrhea'd in my pants and the nurse had to help me clean myself up, think i ended up staying off for the rest of the week)
At my school, you can go with a friend and most teachers will let them come with you. You can also stay with that friend like come in or wait outside sometimes but most of the time you can just go. It depends on the situation and if emotional support is necessary. And you most certainly don’t need a note. You can just go in between lessons or after break and lunch or whatever and the nurse will ring if the teacher’s wondering where you are but most of the time it’s fine or another student will let the teacher know for you. With headaches, the nurse will check with some water and ask if you want paracetamol or any other painkiller and she’ll also ring your parent to see if that’s okay.
our school would give us hot water with rock candy for literally any kind of problem. headache? stomachache? singed eyeballs? broken leg? hot water with rock candy
@@rainbowzgrqce that too, I am also in the UK, I should have been more specific in infant school we would get a wet paper towel and in junior school we get water and in secondary school they don't do anything they say occasionally to drink water but they don't let us fill our bottles up so most people won't have water
This is so true, like the nurses tell you to ice it and they expect you to magically be fine. I was one in the nurses office and this other boy came in and said he got a bee stinger in his hand, the nurse legit gave him ice for less then 10 minutes and sent him back to class. It’s so dumb like at least give him a pain pill or something
Chest pains always worked for me. But I was a good student for most of my years, so I got away with it when I was a senior. It’s about building up a solid reputation. My mum was pretty chill with it and it basically gave me free mental health days (which I desperately needed).
Our nurses won't even give us medicine. "Oh you have a headache? Sit here in the dark for 10-15 minutes, then go back to class."
Our nurse doesn’t even do that all she’ll do is give you a cup of water in an ice pack 😂
I mean, to be fair, it's a headache. Unless it's a migraine, people normally power through those.
It’s not good for the liver lol
My elementary school nurse was just like that
"Oh, you have a stomach ache? Here have an ice pack and some water."
They let you sit in there damn are nurses send us straight to class unless we have a fever
in America: idk, we have a cot in the back if you want to lay down. no Tylenol though. God forbid we gave you medicine that your parents didn't leave here specifically for you to take. that's against the law.
Same in Australia. No pain killers. Go and lie down in the sick bay for a while and it’s back to class
@@hoptoit5910 that's why I carry a small tin of ibuprofen and Tylenol in my bag. if anyone has a headache, I'll give them some.

I’m in America and they give us Tylenol and ibuprofen and like antacid they’ll give us a decent amount actually
In my experience I've always just told to call home.

I love how everyone has these experiences with school nurses but our school doesn't even have nurses
Same
Same

Same the closest thing we have to it is the principal who mimiced the 1st grader who got hurt
Our nurses can’t give us any medicine, I wish they could
Sameeee

Omg those darn coat hooks! I have hit myself on those at least 100 times!

I felt weird all day and actually did pass out when I got home. I was never taken to a doctor or anything. I was just kinda fine the next day.
I presume that's meant to be 'passed out' and not 'passed' as in died
People assume what isnt happening. Ask a stranger where they're going in a shop, changes are they'll say. Good, just looking.
I was actually sent home for a headache earlier this year. Turns out i had COVID
Same
Slaayyy me to
During the last two years, if anybody was feeling unwell. It doesn't even matter what. They sent you home because you could have had COVID.
But before that, you just had to keep acting like something was up, like headache or stomach ache, they would send you home after 15 minutes or so.
A 3-day headache was the only COVID-19 symptom my daughter had. The rest of us were sick as dogs when we caught it from her though!
Ye but that's covid. That's different. It's a symptom. Pre covid it was just a headache
Meanwhile in America: best I can do is ice
Straight facts
in England, instead of giving ice, they give you a wet paper towel lol ( basically a wet tissue)
@@liarot9420 That happened at my school cuz they ran out of ice packs
my nurse is friends with my mom and they know each other pretty well and she always lets me have advil whenever i ask for it (she still has me ask my mom but my mom always says its fine)
ice and maybe the cot in the dark room off to the side
They basically call you a liar. I remember my sister needed urgent medical attention and they just made out she was exaggerating her pain level...
Next, she's on the floor, unresponsive.
Where's the damp blue roll they put on EVERYTHING?!
Brought back memories of my Grammar school days, where even if you went in with an arm bending the wrong way and they'd put blue roll on it 🤣🤣🤣
I once got kicked in the face from someone doing a cartwheel and there was blood EVERYWHERE, they were like here, heres some blue role, off you pop 😭😭
They were like oh sprained ankle put some wter on the blue roll and hold it on
EXACTLY IM IN GRAMMAR SCHOOL NOW AND THAT IS MY EXACT EXPERIENCE
i think thats only a primary school thing
@@randomperson8994 no we lit js said grammar skl...thats a secondary school
"you can't go home unless you're literally on the floor, unable to walk and breath" 🤣🤣
The bit about sending the friend away is so accurate, I remember it well.
in australia - public schools absolutely do not give 2 shits if your sick and want to go home, but private schools on the other hand, they do everything in their power to make you stay at that school no matter what.
The school nurse is always like
Broken arm WET PAPER TOWEL
no leg WET PAPER TOWEL
They always be like
"wHy DiD yOuR fRiEnD cOmE wItH yOu"
LIKE WHAT IF THEY WANTED THEIR FRIEND TO COMFORT THEM.
bro i remember once i was on my period and i forgot to bring pills my cramps were rlly bad so i went to the office and they wouldn’t give me anything they just sent me back to my lesson
I had that happen. My teacher actually noticed something was wrong and sent me to the nurse without me asking. I was given a heating pad…
@@MrsWheezer tbf, heating pads and hot water bottles work better than paracetamol imo. It’s so soothing to feel warmth against your cramps
My school nurse: you have a headache, put a wet paper towel on it
same!
Oh yeah… these ones are about as useful as bottle of whiskey in an AA meeting.
Our nurse just throws ice packs at us😂😂😂
My school nurse was actually the sweetest person ever. Everyone loved her and she would always go the extra mile to make sure you were okay.
“You only have 3 hours left at school, can you make it for that long?
My nurse lets me go home for the smallest things she’s the best I swear
No one:
The school nurse : Oh your vomiting 🤮 just put an ice pack on that."
I had an amazing nurse at my old school that really cared about the students. You had a headache that made you not be able to concentrate in class? You could choose if you wanted some medicine or if you wanted to go home. Feeling nauseous? Go home. Scraped your knee up really bad while falling? Have a bandage and go home. Having a bad day and crying a lot? Go home. She was awesome :)
These skits are single handedly making me want to homeschool 😭
THIS GAVE ME FLASHBACKS
In my school you couldn't go home unless you physically threw up 💀
The flared nostrils and owl eyes😂
Our nurses office has a whole bedroom with pillows, blankets and magazines. They let you sleep there if you don’t feel well.
I like how the schools never do anything about a potential problem until it actually becomes a problem
at my school, the nurses aren’t allowed to give out medicine, as they don’t have parental permission, but they can give you a wet paper towel and a lie down in a dark room
During covid we couldn’t be sent home any faster for a headache 😂

the “off you go” is too accurate 💀
this acting is good enough to intimidate me again
Literally their solution to everything is pain relief and ice
Omg the friend come with is so relatable
Omg I had to go home with a migraine a few weeks ago
"Headache" it is not always
I literally threw up 😑
felt that one
the amount of mornings of school i’ve missed bc i woke up and couldn’t get up without being dizzy or throwing up or looking at light
In my secondary they asked me every single time if I had any allergies to the medication and the nurse was actually so sweet. She really cared for every student and would personally come with a wheelchair and a helping hand whenever my friend collapsed during college
Love this channel!!😊😊👍🏻
The way school office staff think doing their jobs is “a WaStE oF mY tImE”

Boy do these videos make me glad to have grown up in the Greek school system
I’m so glad I went to a private high school in the US.. public school nurses cannot give you medicine, but private school nurses will. I have had chronic migraines since childhood, and having the ability to get medicine from the nurse’s office when I needed it was a godsend
Aren’t we gonna talk about the „good vibes only“ poster on the wall 😂😂?!
Lol I didn't even notice that
I love your vids they are so funny and relatable
"you'll be fine" said the nurse as i came back three more times because my 3rd grade self had a migraine as i was sobbing
Good vibes only in the back makes it better
My nurse doesn’t care abt me she once told me I wasn’t a priority for anyone
I’m SO Sorry to hear she said that to you❤️🤗❤️ Jesus sees you as worth dying for❤️😍🥰❤️
Omg how do you do these so spot on
In my school the nurse would always give us chamomile tea 😅
Next time they say they don’t feel well, please ask for their hand sympathetically, rub it and say “you feel good to me”. Classic, and it actually happened to me.

Loool this is a good UK nurse. All my school nurses would just give a cold wet paper towel for any illness, no medicine to be found!
School Nurses: 🧊ICE!🧊 *jazz hands*
Then the next day she calls in sick with a hangover lol
We didn’t even get paracetamol. Wet paper towel solved everything 😂
When you're allergic to paracetamol xD
Omg this is me everyday at school bc I feel sick from anxiousness

With headaches, the nurse will check with some water and ask if you want paracetamol or any other painkiller and she’ll also ring your parent to see if that’s okay.
My school nurse didn’t even offer medicine 😂
our school would give us hot water with rock candy for literally any kind of problem. headache? stomachache? singed eyeballs? broken leg? hot water with rock candy
Wet paper towel is all we ever got😂😂.
Here's a tums and an ice pack, you have the fitness gram pacer test today.
Daaaaamn you just gave me year 8 flashbacks 😭😭
*Im sorry miss I'm not faking it really hurts*
This is exactly how my nurse is but she doesn't give us medicine
You get pills?!?!? In the U.S we just get ice 😭
You get ice?!!?we get a wet paper towel
no, I’m in the uk and it will just be like ‘drink some water and you’ll be fine’
@@rainbowzgrqce that too, I am also in the UK, I should have been more specific in infant school we would get a wet paper towel and in junior school we get water and in secondary school they don't do anything they say occasionally to drink water but they don't let us fill our bottles up so most people won't have water
Yet if a student walks into the nurses office saying they’ve vomited, it’s an immediate phone call home for them to be collected. 😏
ok ik this is kinda off topic, but your eyelashes look AMAZING! if you use a serum or mascara what do you use?
This is so true, like the nurses tell you to ice it and they expect you to magically be fine. I was one in the nurses office and this other boy came in and said he got a bee stinger in his hand, the nurse legit gave him ice for less then 10 minutes and sent him back to class. It’s so dumb like at least give him a pain pill or something
It's kinda funny how my school didn't even have a nurse, you just had to speak to a first aid trained staff and they would give us paracetamol then.
Oh over here they can’t give us medication without permission
Back in the day I’d just walk out and go home 😂 oh the good old days
Actually, school nurses can't give the student medication without full permission
When I was in 7th grade, I was in the nurse's office almost daily during allergy season having asthma attacks. They told me it was anxiety 🙃
I’m Australia: they send you home if you have a mild stomach ache
In Canada, I’ve never had a school nurse. If one was unwell, they went to the principals office to call home and that was it.
No meds.... just ice packs🥲🥲
we weren’t allowed to be given medicine unless it was prescribed
Chest pains always worked for me. But I was a good student for most of my years, so I got away with it when I was a senior. It’s about building up a solid reputation. My mum was pretty chill with it and it basically gave me free mental health days (which I desperately needed).
Huh.. i always got to go home if i said i was feeling sick.. i am really grateful for that lenience watching these
This is more than true I had the same experience.
I'm so glad my school wasn't like this. I went home for headaches a few times. I wouldn't ask if it wasn't a bad one.
No, you can very much go home for a headache, I have plenty of times 😂
yeah kee-
😳 keep walking 😳
Usually the nurse has to phone home to authorise the student to take medicine
