it sounds like our community...except we are under the baord of health...and our own contract...we have wanted for years to go over to the school dept and be under the "deputy superintendent" and go under the teachers contract but political things happen slowly...we have a nurse in most schools and our schools have about the same number of students...were you always in the school dept?

-i understand the frustration regarding subs for nurses....we experience the same problems...do you work under a supervisor or school nurse leader...do you work for a health dept or do you work for the schools ? are the 8 nurses unionized? what do the full time nurses earn? how many students in the district? how do you divide the nurses coverage?

have you been trained on the functioning of the pump in the event the child becomes incapable of addressing highs/lows in blood sugars....who covers the school for you when you're out sick and is this person trained as well?

-thanks for getting back to me...what do you do for field trips?

-i am a school nurse in a middle school- what is the protocol regarding insulin pumps and the school nurses role- what is the protocol for field trips- what training is necessary and who provides this training- thank you !
