[QUOTE="dreamer, post: 26012, member: 1697"] without addressing whether or not a school nurse can be excluded (becuz I do not know, but I also did want our school nurse excluded) there is a misconception on just what a nurse is or does or what her duties are. Nurses are professionals in their own right. Nurses no longer simply "follow doctors orders" If a nurse has a concern re a doctors orders she is REQUIRED per nurses code of conduct and ethical standards to question things. Nurses are helf liable and accoutnable for their actions, no matter if a doctor ordered something or not, a nurse no longer is permitted to simply say "the doctor ordered it"- it does not get her off the hook if things go awry. Many a nurse has thus "saved a docs behind" by finding and questioning a docs order. Yes, there are crummy nurses.just as there are crummy anyone in any field, and thats another issue, but a nurse does have certain responsiblities and liabilities and obligations. A nurse is another part of the safety protections in a line of treatment provided. Yes, I am well aware there are crummy nurses and I understand that this particular nurse might be a problem, but please be aware of what a nurses role and job is. It is NOT simply to "follow a doctors orders"- her job description in her role as a school nurse is more involved than that, entirely. But YES you may have entirely different needs than what she understands. After all she is NOT your childs primary nurse. or care provider. ANd psychiatric nursing is probably not in her list of expertise. (school nurses typical have specialized in public health nursing) But her list of responsibilities as a school nurse dictates what her responsibilities are. [/QUOTE]
