I would like to know what other districts are caring for their very young diabetic students. This is a growing problem for us. I've had one school nurse claim that "reasonable accommodation" does not include instant care, that insulin administration isn't an emergency even when BS >300. They can wait until a nurse gets there. While I'm not sure I'm comfortable with that, I'm also not comfortable having an LVN follow around a child because the parents said that she needs IMMEDIATE insulin if her BS is 200 or higher. Administrators are caving because they fear a lawsuit. Please let me know how you all are handling this.
"There is 1 peds endocrinology group in our city that treats every diabetic child, so our orders are consistent and always read to accept insulin orders from parents"
How does one endocrinology group orders over ride the nurse practice act?
