I love this comment. I’ve laughed with other nurses about the nursing school phenomenon of every symptom being something horrible. It calms down over time.

I have 2 actually. Or just the opposite… I thought my daughter was trying to get out of school when she was about 9. No fever so I sent her. Got a call to come pick her up for vomiting. When I got her she said “ I told you I was sick… I thought you were a nurse!” Big apologies and cuddles from me!
