Welcome to another episode of the Teachers Off Duty podcast! Where your hosts KC Mack, HonestTeacherVibes, and Devin Siebold are starting to feel the call of Spring Break but before that gift is bestowed upon us, you got to hear these school nurse stories!
Devin will have you on the edge of your seat with stories of unexpected injuries and peculiar parental requests for medical advice on everything from STDs to foot warts. Don't miss KC's nickname revelation, introducing us to "The Vaseline Queen." Might be better not to ask....
The crew shares a story about a student who comes back from lunch with a note from the school nurse claiming he has eggs in his hair, leading to a school-wide lice check.
To cap things off, Devin recounts his unforgettable encounter with a frozen pole, where he personally tested the myth and learned a lesson he'd never forget.
Whether you're an educator, a parent, you won't want to miss these stories from the school nurse's office. We're sure you could relate to one or two...

It's the registered school nurse who cannot prescribe but they have knowledge of the medication, registered nurse practitioners are the ones at the DRs OFFICE who can prescribe 😂😂😂😂
I've never even been close to being a teacher, but i enjoy this podcast!
Same here.
Devin has some amazing stories from growing up. How/why he did so many hilarious but crazy at the moment, activities? 🤣
I was a comedian early on in life so I just always found the humor in the craziness and it stuck with me.
@@DevinSiebold I love it! Your stories are hilarious!
Just an FYI, our school nurses are on the same pay scale as the teachers. Our elementary school has over 700 kids and one nurse! When I worked in Kansas City, the nurse was split between two or three schools. As a para, I worked at a middle school that had an elevator do all kids with health issues came to our building. When the nurse was at another school, I was in charge of dealing with kids having seizures, needing catheterization, severe asthmatics and all kinds of other issues. Not a nurse but I did what I had to do for the kids.
Thank you we always need help🙂
The beginning of this episode reminded me of "why did you lick your shoe?!" "TO see what it tasted like" 😅😂😂😂
Yes, yes Bre, every school should have a mental health therapist at least. I am a psychologist and mental health therapist and while my hubby was stationed in Kansas, I worked in a middle school. My schedule stayed full!
Velvet ants are also known as cow killers here in Texas. Also, if there is a presence of velvet ants, there might be a presence of ground hornets (who eat the ants), which also means there might be tarantulas (who eat the ground hornets)
The whole credentials and other more lucrative job options also applies to Speech, OT, and PT.
we didn't even have a school nurse.. we had a attendance secretary with a cot in her office and ice packs
Me singing wit Bri..”I’m goin goin,back back to Cali Cali 🎶
The thing about lice and bedbugs even here in New Mexico, annoys me so much! You can’t send a kid home if they have bedbugs or lice on their person, you can’t even isolate their stuff and put it in a bag because we don’t want them to feel bad about it? Schools need to start inconveniencing parents more and things like that will get done quicker! I have met a mean nurse before, she chewed my kids out for going to her office too much, and that it was inconveniencing her in her day.
A student (6th grade) asked me a question today, I answered the question in front of the class. Two minutes later, that student asked the same question. It's the end of the year we ain't playing this game. I told the student they need Q tips or a brain scan. Hahaha everybody laughed, that was the last sound before their consequence test. Consequence from Tuesday. I warned them Tuesday and I reminded them today why they are taking a test. I need silence. And I got it. I'm a long term sub, started April 9. My colleagues told me about this trick Monday. Thank you.
@ 36:12 y’all talkin about higher than normal temps. I was the same when I was little. My temp was always over 99. I hated school cuz I got bullied every day, so I’d get an upset stomach from anxiety (didn’t know at the time) and I’d ask to go to the nurse. Knowing my temp would be higher and she’d call my parents to come get me. Worked like a charm, every time. 😂
Thank y’all for this🤣👏🏾
As a school nurse😊 watching Abbott & watching yall is literally like my real life on a screen🙃
Great episode, keep em coming!
I love you guys and wonder why I never had any cool teachers like you all? Haha
In middle school I used my nurse to try to leave so often from being bullied. I feel bad for them now.
In the 80's, I always had the best nurse, she went to Middle and High School. It was small school district.
Nurses are amazing. Also recess paras see all the injuries as well. And bring all the injured students to said nurse(s).
39:54 In my county all the teachers have to be trained in CPR. One parent advocated for this after his daughter died. However, I do not think we should have to take over the nurse’s like they do in the UK. We have enough on our plates.
I’m from Canada. When I was a kid we got vaccines at school all the time. Even HPV.
@34:20 😭😭😭😭 I HOLLERED🤣 why are y’all so relatable 😫
I keep bandaids and cough drops in my desk and the kids hate when they can't go to the nurse to grab one of those items
We ever going to get a episode about the media specialist aka librarians? They have to have some stories about the stuff kids will ask questions. I would love to see this.
I’m a Salt Lake City guy and I got my tickets this weekend!!! Can’t wait to see them live
The perfect ad placement. I love when this happens or it accidentally happens when y’all are talking about the blue pills. The commercial that comes on right after y’all do yawls little skit is 911 what’s your emergency? 😂😂😂
Can't wait for Fort Worth!
Come back to Louisiana pleaseeee I didn't realize I missed y'all 😭
I got my tongue stuck in a freezer when i was 2 and ripped my tongue off. I healed fine. I have a normal tongue. But blood was everywhere
2 seconds in 💭
Why is KC so chaotic 🤣🤣🤣
I can’t help myself!!!!!! 😂
I love you KC! You are great!
Oh my gosh....talk about sticking something up their nose... I was supporting a special needs child in art and I turned to help another special needs child. When I turned back to the child that I'd been originally helping; had modeling clay all over their face and they were messing around their nose. I said, "What's the matter?" The child replied, "I have clay in my nose." I tilted the child's head back and the child had literally stuffed so much clay up into each nostril you could see the bulges on the sides outside of the nose. I took the child to the school nurse and they had the hardest time massaging the outside of the child's nose to get out as much as possible; then trying to get the child to blow the rest out. It was frightening and hilarious all at the same time!
Y’all gotta fan on? The way that paper is flapping on Devin’s arm 😂😂
Fan blowing full speed 😂
I was working as a lunch supervisor and had to run a kinder to the nurse because they had ran into a huge bolt that was sticking out of the play structure. Poor kid had a hole in their head and had to get stitches. And I had to walk the two miles home looking like I just survived a SAW movie.
Can attest, went to elementary school in FL and there was rumored to be a black widow spider below the rubber mat underneath a swing I used to play on. I may have seen a scorpion once there, but never that wasp thankfully. But I was always careful because of that.
My principal called me in her office and said close the door. I going through my memory bank trying to figure out what parent in complaining. She told me she has herpes. The look on my face😳 I was sitting on the other side of her desk like you're telling me this why🙄
I'm a retired paraprofessional which means working with kids with special needs. I've have parents jokes, kid jokes, and things that happened when I cover the nurse in order for her to get her break. Sample. Nurse nurse I have a fever. I looked at him and then asked him if he just had recess? He replied yes. Laughing on the inside I then asked him are you hot inside or outside lol he replied mmmmm outside. I then explain to him fever only happens on the inside. He then asked why am I wet and my face feels funny? With a straight face I gave him a towel and asked him to wipe his forehead. He wiped hard I then asked him what is that called that wet stuff you just wiped off? He said Ms. Mellon thats fever.^^&(&%$#$#@
Wanted to buy a ticket for the L.A show. It did not show up.
They send them home with live lice but not eggs.
Thank a nurse. National School Nurse Day, May 8th👩⚕️👩⚕️👩⚕️
I hate that students can stay in school until their fever hits almost 101. Which is high enough to infect everyone else. 🙄 We don't send kids home for lice in Indiana anymore either. It's considered discrimination and a violation of confidentiality and FAAPE.
Oh my God me and my two sisters had to deal with having head lice growing up and my mom did all the checking
Can't wait for the Cali show ❤
I didn’t know school nurses were even still a thing. I thought they were a thing of the past. I’m in the US and we never had school nurses in my district. They still don’t as far as I know. We’ve got office administrators with ice packs and band aids
Paul Karpovich, DDS "Milk will allow tooth to stay moist, but it also has vital proteins and sugars that make it a good choice in a dental emergency. "
I'm in Nebraska in a lower elementary school and I'm pretty sure the child got sent home
Back in ye olden days, we got polio, small pox and measles shots in school. We just lined up as a class and got our vaccine. It was the 60’s.
I have gotten my tongue stuck to a popsicle on a stick and ripped it off.....I was in like 1st grade. Yup it bled and bled. I'm 40 and I STILL won't eat them anymore
TEMPERATURE??? Y’all would be laughing if you’d heard me at home while listening to this. I worked 12 years in a family practice office with people dedicated to correct terminology, before this 23 years teaching.
I kept hollering, “The kid has a FEVER! EVERYBODY has a TEMPERATURE.”
Everybody.
Everything.
Every place.
They all have a temperature.
In Tn it’s considered a life choice to have lice or get rid of it
i have lived in Florida for years mostly in Jupiter, port saint lucie, palm beach gardens, vero beach and i have never seen a velvet ant, but the lizards dont bother me, i like lizards, bre richardson needs to learn more about them because the lizards are super helpful, many of them eat the things we really hate, like roaches, silverfish and things like that.
My daughters school nurse called me because my daughter coughed but when my daughter broke her growth plate in her hand at P.E not one phone call her hand looked like a plum but no call I didn't find out until I picked her up
We need a nurse in elementary every day. 2 1/2 days is not enough
And now did you know that there are hair salons that specialize in checking for head lice?
Outdoor education we need first aid and cpr, but that is a no brainer once we are teaching in the woods.
You can get tetanus from wood . I cut my hand on a wooden privacy fence and tetanus was a worry so they gave me the shot .
Im confident hours are better as a school nurse
i love listening to y’all but recently there’s been way more ads and commercials
A cup of milk for a tooth saves the tooth to put the tooth back in the mouth
im disabled but i never go to my school nurse, i think thats rlly funny ngl. i got my extra strength tylanol i got my braces i got my wraps, if i dislocate smth i just pop it back in and go about my day
What happened that the nurse ended up in full body cast?
First comment! One of my favorite parts of Sunday!
No thank you
Our nurse reuses ice packs enen the disposable ones. I'm not a fan. Also my brother got a piece of wood in his pinkie and needed surgery to fight the huge infection he got so the nurse wasn't crazy.
I am so glad I’m not a teacher holy cow I don’t work for school. I don’t wanna be a government worker no more.
The issue is lice, unlike fleas, don't spread human pathogens (CDC website). They are super annoying, but not actually a health hazard.
I don't like lice, and would keep my kid woth lice home, but I do get how a non-medical issue cannot be used to deny kids access to school (since core education is recognized globally, outside the US, as a universal child right).
velvet ant aka cow killer. WORST STING EVER!!!
You want to talk about parasites? Reservation schools with dorms.....
