Shopper

Just read you post. I am a secretary handing out meds in school. I have been looking for info on protection for myself and my family against lawsuits. I had an incident with a diabetic student and parents stated that they were going to get a lawyer. My principal stated that I was protected by the district. I had heard that I COULD be sued personally. Just looking to see what other people have read. I am outraged that society would be "ok" with a secretary giving meds and not a nurse. If you think about it, in many cases the secretary has about as much education as the students she is helping, much less than the rest of the staff in a school building, yet they are the ones responsible for major health care (life and death) needs of students. The days of just bandaids and throwup are long gone.
