Has good old fashioned common sense went out the window? In my state PE / Athletic coaches have to be CPR / AED certified as part of their job requirement. And even if these teachers were not certified, how could they not know to call 911 instead of a nurse that was not even on campus??? Shaking me head.......

In addition, school nurses are responsible for stocking the restrooms with the proper ply of toilet paper as well as ensuring the rolls are oriented in the proper direction for functional paper dispensation while maintaining an age/gender appropriate wiping training program for all students and staff.

This article was ridiculous. How does a school nurse, who in this case worked at multiple schools, have time to train and hold the hands of these college educated teachers on how to perform life saving techniques? Common sense seems to be a commodity these days.

ugh
