I have worked at three schools in the past 13 years & have always been told school nurses are not to see students without their clothing unless their is a Drs order for a cath, Diastat admin, etc. However, I have been asked to clean up students who have had accidents at my current location. I am on my own here, there is no "lead" nurse, so I really have nobody to get clarification from. I assumed if I have been told not to do it as my previous employment, it is the rule for our state. I attempted to contact my school nursing association for my state (Georgia), but as I cannot afford the membership, I was not able to get into the site. Does anyone have any knowledge that may be of help? I don't want to anger my current boss, but I want to make sure I am following the state law.
Thanks in advance :)
