Yes, I'm a Red Cross instructor and teach CPR/AED to staff members, coaches, the bus drivers, and to the jr. high students as part of their health classes.

I work in OH and you have to have be an RN and have credits in educatin and have completed a school nurse practicum as well. You must be licensed by the state as a school nurse in addition to your state nursing license as well.

My walls are a pale yellow and I have age appropriate movie posters hanging with some stuffed animals different movies on top of the cabinets where they are visible but out of reach. It helps, but the room is noisy as it's next to the main office the student restrooms and cafeteria are across the hall so it's not conducive to rest or the least bit calming. To top that off all 36 light (yes I mean 36 4 foot tubes) work on one switch so the place is blinding!

As our district's only school nurse (RN) if there's a doctor's order on file stating that rectal Diastat is to be given if a 'lesser' (ie. staring) seizure lasts X number of minutes or progresses to a grand mal (or initiates as grand mal) then I have no problem giving the Diastat and then calling the preferred ambulance company and the family. The superintendent has given me carte blanche to call the EMT's at any time I feel it's needed even if the parent's indicate they're coming and to wait for them to get there.... if I feel it's needed I'll call, as then, if somethng should happen, they can't blame me... and the doctor ordered medicine will also have been administered as ordered so I'm fully covered.
