Hi! Im also a school nurse from the Philippines. :) In my opinion, for behavior issues, it is no longer a nurse's job to intervene. The teachers are the ones responsible in informing the parents regarding their child's classroom behavior. Sadly, not all teachers are cooperative and most of the time they are just playing safe. í ½í¹ In the school that Im working at, the school nurse informs the parents about their child's health concerns including injuries (major or minor). However, for injuries caused by rough play or behavior issues, I attend to the victim while the teacher disciplines the other student. Im the one who informs the victim's parents while the teacher sends an Incident Report to the parents of both students. In cases like this, I just go on with purely medical stuff like, "He has a bump but eventually subsided after cold compress, etc." If the victim's parents will get frustrated, I'll simply say, "Your child's teacher will contact you soon and she will address your concerns." Just bounce the ball back onto their courts as our job is done after rendering medical intervention. Hope this helps! Goodluck í ¾í´—
