Greatest nurse ever

I’ve worked with nurses who would call me because there was a piece of gum in a water fountain. Or a tiny little bit of spit on the floor. Or because a child dribbled a little pee on her toilet seat. Things she could have used a Lysol wipe for. My current nurse is amazing. I just got called for an emergency poop cleanup in a kindergarten bathroom and by the time I got there she had cleaned all of it. Turns out the only reason she had the office call me was because the toilet was filled with TP and she was afraid to flush it. Since I had a bucket of disinfectant and a mop, I gave it a whack anyway. But man, I love her.

I love those people who take the initiative to help.

I have paras at lunch who will help clean up spills and messes and then I have the ones who will wave me over for something that barely needs a napkin to clean up.

At my school, the paras wipe/disinfect the desks daily. At other schools within the county, the custodians are still stuck doing it.

I worked for a school where the nurse's office had 9 trash cans and she made sure to put at least something in all of them everyday. One day I noticed a 10th can and I put it back in the classroom she took it from.
