The Buckets by Greg Cravens for March 26, 2014

“No point in keeping a school nurse. If it’s something a band-aid won’t fix, we’ll be in greater need of a lawyer.”

What has happened to self responsibility?

So, uh, Greg?!How did you go from Frank and Toby talking, to Eddy asking a question out of the blue (how did he know she was a nurse?) ?

I think I remember that in the past adventures of the Buckets.

I remember when Eddie had a sore throat and he tried to put a plaster at the back of his throat to help it ‘heal’

But Sarah insisted on giving him some medicine or aspirin. Wise choice.

“It’s like a doc in a box for the kids at school, but with even less medical training.”

I remember the school nurse. She would MAKE you lie down and rest after getting the Band-Aid. Take your temp. Send you back to class or….. call your mom to come get you. You never wanted that. …. But call for an ambulance? .. Now that was cool. It meant you did something really awesome that could only be fixed by a trip to the hospital.

I thought schools were required by law to have a nurse and did not know that they didn’t. Or is that because I am in a different state. (Like I never knew that not everyone starts school the Wed or Mon after Labor Day.)

I vaguely remember the school nurse. We only saw her if there was a vaccine booster scheduled, or when someone got hurt during gym class or had an accident during recess. :D
