Chapter 8 Summary: “The Dangerous Nurse’s Office”

Junie B. runs to the nurse’s office, where she finds a box of Band-Aids. She dumps them all out and sticks several to the sites of past injuries. When she sees the nurse’s purple sweater, she puts it on and declares that she is the nurse. Junie B. pretends to call the hospital, ordering more supplies. Next, she pretends to call her classroom, asking Mrs. to send Jim to the office for a shot. Finally, she sees a pair of crutches and gets very excited. She tries to use them, but they are too tall, so she climbs onto the chair. When the chair starts to roll, Junie B. gets stuck, suspended from the crutches at an impossible height, before falling and banging her head. Yelling, she picks up the nurse’s phone again and hollers that she is quitting this “stupid job.” Junie B. decides that the office is a dangerous place and that crutches are no longer her favorite.
