Sometimes I hate rules

Only other suggestion I might have is allow the mom to administer the drops when she picks up the paperwork. Hopefully the student may not need them again today. Then see if she can have the doctor sign the paperwork after school/work. I've had this happen a couple times and this is the best solution I have found for something that can be very tedious with all the paperwork/legality.

In my district a parent can come and administer the med, and then we can fax off the form to the MD to hopefully expedite that.

Could you fax/scan email the form the parent to sign and then she can send to MD?

Unfortunately she doesn't have access to computer or smart phone.

This is what I was going to suggest. Parent comes in for paperwork and administers. Then you can fax to dr office. Most offices around me get the paperwork back to me on the same day. Maybe call ahead to say "Hey, I know you're all busy but can you quickly sign this and send back so I can administer?" Making a super polite phone call does wonders for getting forms back!

I'd do the same. Or if I can verbally confirm with the doctor's office on the phone the order, I'll give it once and fax the paperwork over.

Maybe you can do it for her? I do that for parents all the time.

Yes I have. You are a good person.

I have also found that my life works much better when I don't bend the rules (even the ones I find stupid, bothersome, etc.)

Yes, definitely not going to bend the rules. Mom came in and signed and I called the doctor's office to speak with someone who will make sure forms get signed and faxed back over here.

Why can't the Mother administer the eye drops prior to school, after school, and at bedtime? And not even involve the school? That would be drops given three times per day.

Now that sounds like a great idea! Maybe though, that last time she sees her is earlier in the morning like 6am, like if it was a nurse's kid, who has to be to work at the hmmcrack of dawn. The drops might star wearing off like noon. Allergies really suck! It'd be extremely hard to learn with itchy watery eyes. Glad you got it taken care of for her.

I am not a school nurse though I love to lurk here to see what y'all do.

Y'all rock!
