student was heating up some food in microwave and another student bumped into her. She got second degree burns all over her chest. I feel so bad. I was told by the students that they can use the microwave because previous nurses let them use it. These are diabetics so thought nothing of them heating snacks up in the microwave. There was no official policy of using the microwave or not using the microwave in the policy and procedure manual.
This is only like my 6th time here at this school. I was subbing as the school nurse. Never got an orientation.
This is my first major nursing error with over 25 years of experience. Help!
