- patejam 8y agoOr they fuck up, prick themselves with epinephrine, and die (or at least not have a very good time).

- traek 8y agoI don’t think an incompetent school nurse would be a bigger problem to me than my child dying.
- lev99 8y agoThe bigger problem is how many other children receive substandard care.
- DanBC 8y agoIn England the protected title is "Registered General Nurse" or "Registered Mental Health Nurse" - a registered nurse is qualified to a certain standard and has a professional registration. Nurse isn't a protected title, so it's possible a school nurse has minimal qualification and no professional registration. I dunno if it's similar in the US.
- paulie_a 8y agoI had an EpiPen and various other stuff when I was in 5th grade. I was taught to use it. If a nurse is incapable of administering it properly that person needs to find a new line of work. It honestly is a completely irrational fear.
