The school nurse is gonna end up with a...

foot in her ass if she keeps talking to Sebastian and myself the way she does.

I sent the paperwork to school this morning with Sebastian, from the neuro that explains that he does indeed suffer from serious migraines and is taking 2 medications for it.
I wrote on the paperwork that the medications will not be at the school due to other students claiming they steal medications, and that he will be taking them 3 times a day at home.
She called me this morning to yell at me, again, that "There's absolutely no way that any student is stealing medications from the nurses office. It's impossible."

I told her again, how the students say they are doing it, the types of medications they say they are taking, and anyway, the school won't allow Sebastian's medications there because of what they are.
Even these new ones are on the banned list of medications.
She told me again, that it's impossible for students to steal medications.
I told her again, the types of medications that students claim they are taking, other students ADHD meds, bottles of Tylenol, Benadryl, whatever is in the closet, they take it.
She yelled at me, again, that it's impossible, that I need to give her the names of the students claiming they are doing this, and I won't, I refuse, because if I rat out the names Sebastian and Mark have told me, there could be consequences for them from these other students.
She told me that's a lie.
I said, "How dare you call me a liar!? There are students claiming they are taking medications that belong to other students, and because I won't give you their names, you are calling me a liar?!"
She said I need to take it up with the principal if I really feel that students medications are being stolen, I told her that talking to the principal is like talking to a smiling brick wall, she will say anything to avoid confrontation with parents, it goes in one ear and out the other, nothing gets done, quit badgering me on this issue, his meds will not be at school, end of discussion, period, done, and I hung up.

Sebastian has told me that when he goes to the nurses office to come home because his head is exploding, that she has called him a liar, told him he doesn't really have migraines, that he just wants to go home from school.
That's why I made sure to send the paperwork this morning, it has the doctor's signature on it, his name and phone number, the doctor's official stamp with his license number on it, the diagnosis of severe migraine, and the names of his medications along with the amounts he has to take.
I swear, if she calls him a liar one more time, I'm going to go up there and put my foot up her ass.

Don't you just love people like this who THINK they know what's right and who is telling the truth when in fact they don't know JACK SCHIT? OMG crap like this burns me up! We've gone through similar stuff with our daughter and the school nurse! Recently, she was sicker than heck, and the nurse flat out REFUSED to call us, but rather gave her a couple of cough drops and sent her back to class saying "You'll be fine, just suck on these". UHHHHHH, EXCUSE ME! My child isn't even allowed to take Tylenol without a doctors permission slip yet it's totally OK for you to give her cough drops without even calling and asking me? SCREW THAT! The ONLY reason they keep sick kids in school is to put $$$$$$ in their pockets (i.e. school funding, taxes, etc) Want some help putting a foot up her ass? LOL

I am not surprised that medication is walking away from the nurse's office. I think you're smart to keep it at home, because clearly the school can't handle the situation.

It amazes me that the nurse wants you to spill the beans. She should investigate it herself and catch the thief!

Why is she giving you so much crap over not having the meds at school, when they are on the banned list and can't be there anyway?

And as for students stealing meds, yeah, they are, but she won't admit it because to do so is to admit negligence on her part. They may have a cabinet with a lock to keep them in, but she's probably been lax about bothering to lock it. If there is no lock, they seriously need to get one installed.

Can you go over the principal's head and complain to the superintendent of schools about this, or is s/he just as non-responsive as the principal? I remember how she was over the whole lunch thing.

I hope at least the doctor's note keeps the bitch from calling Sebastian a liar again. Makes me wish I could come down there and contribute my size 11 to the cause.

I also wear a size 11 and it is backed up with a solid wood cane. If she needs an attitude adjustment, I would definitely be glad to help.

Know it alls usually do not know anything. Their brain power is severely limited by their lack of imagination. For any other insults, please be glad to contact me. After all I DO have an imagination and my intelligence is not as limited as the nurse's obviously is.
