Hello, I was asked to accompany my middle school child's 3 day field trip to Washington DC as the school nurse is not able to go. I am not employed by the school district, so it is volunteer. I hold a license in PA. I spoke with VA BON and they said all was good for them (the hotel is in VA), but I cannot get a hold of District of Columbia (I've called several times and left messages on different machines that I get relayed to). I've even called my own state BON, but am waiting on hold for a couple hours. Does anyone know Washington DC's rule on this? I found this exemption, but don't quite understand. Thanks for any help.
