In reply to the discussion: Nurses take on schools over insulin shots (Obama is against the nurses union) [View all]Riftaxe
(2,693 posts)and being from New Hampshire where schools are funded through property taxes, I will damn well take that risk just to let a child get his medication.
Now to others, I take insulin myself and have probably longer then you been around.
1) Of course they do, who could argue that?
2) It does not, even the worst barrister would argue need.
3) This is why we invented a written version of the language. Most adults can read, and most kids sure as snot know when they have received an injection. In dispute, perhaps refer to the written language thing in case just.
4) let the janitor do it if you think administering 3-4 shots per 500 students is that disruptive or the teachers not give a shit (which would be woefully wrong)
5) This is the only serious issue you raise, but only speaking for myself, and being a funder of my schools, frivolous law suits are discouraged by the courts, the public, and sure as hell the politicians who want to remain such. You go find 12 people to find a district in fault just because a kid got a rash. Feel free to campaign for the candidate of "I made damn sure those children did not get their insulin".
6) Penalize kids because the future might lead to...., nope we are here to prevent that.
7) If they refuse to do it, or refuse to let anyone else do it, they are not nurses they have violated the spirit of the oath (i know they not need to take it) but they have no business in health care.
