| Hi Erin, Thanks for your input and for choosing such a wonderful career. We need more teachers like you. We reside in Florida and the laws here state that trained personnel can do the invasive procedures, since each school does not have a nurse. We have experienced, to mention a few:
1. Injected with insulin at 8:30 am
2. Treating a BS of 48 with a diet soda
3. Being chased around a school clinic with a lancet
4. Forced to eat all items packed for a field trip
I could go on and on, and I have vigorously attempted to correct the inappropriate actions, only to be ignored. However, great strides have been made because of my due diligence:
1. Now allowed to test and treat in the classroom
2. Administer his own insulin,when needed
3. The health dept. who oversees school health hired a CDE
So, this may afford the others, who have come after my son their rights.
Presently, my son is attending a private school on a voucher and they are refusing to even accept the physician's form. UGH!!!!! Thank you so much for caring and oh how I wish we were in NYC.  |
