   The only thing I would've added is checking BP. Low or dropping BP is a symptom of anaphylaxis. The one time I've given epi, I took the student's BP and it was fine, 5 minutes later it had dropped and...

13. Dealing with other staff

    kidzcare replied to Nurselinz's topic in School

    I don't mind checking out a (recent) injury or a BP check here and there. As always, there are some that will take advantage. When this happens, I want a memo to go out that MOST workplaces do...
