I'm a new nurse at an Elementary (k-5) and I was wondering when most people refer students for their vision? 20/30 or 20/40? In the past we have referred at 20/40 but I called a few optometrists and they said I should refer at 20/30. I'm just a little eery to refer at 20/30 because most of my families don't have the money for an eye exam that isn't necessary.

i'm a school nurse from st. francois county area, i just started school nursing this year, so far so good :nuke:

I also keep our epi pens in the office in my med cabinet, there is an epi pen magnet on the drawer where they are kept for easy recognition. When they go on a field trip, they will be sent with the student's teacher.
