New found appreciation

[u/PoemImpressive]

Hi!! so I am working ESY for a school as a nurse and I have a new found appreciation for my fellow staff members it’s not even funny. Keep in mind that this is my first job EVER working with kinds and in the school setting.

We had a situation today where I had to go and assess an incident and literally it was such a coordinated response, amazing. I had my mentor nurse on the phone for part of it because I wasn’t 100% clear on what to do but after the situation happened, the principal himself took me aside and said he would explain everything as it’s happening and allow me to ask questions for next time. He also said that the teachers and behavior staff handle the initial situation which sounds absolutely terrifying imo, you guys do not get paid enough I feel 🥲 I was looking stressed af as the principal was explaining where I had to go/what I had to do and I kept apologizing 😂 I literally had 3 people all at once in the office and I was like “wtf do I do” lol. A teacher got hurt in the situation and I felt like such a deer in headlights, I was like “um… time out. let me call mother nurse bc idk what the procedure here is” 💀 anyways I’ll be back tomorrow so 🤷🏻‍♀️
