treating faculty/staff

i've never given regular shots to staff, but did once give a staff member their epoiten injection when their regular nurse wasn't able to make it due to an emergency. this was a highly irregular circumstance and was a staff member i was very friendly with that understood that this was a one shot deal (ooh, bonus pun).

I've had a teacher request it - at her last school, she always got her allergy shots from the nurse. I declined - I don't want the hassle.

Due to the liability (even though I have my own nursing liability insurance!) I wouldn't do it. I don't have her medical history, contact with her physician, and there's nothing in my State's Education Code that would protect me for giving medication to Staff unless it's an Emergency situation.

Nope. They are adults, by doing that, you are meeting a personal need for convenience, not an acute medical need during their working day. BIG difference!

I had this come up today - a teacher wanted me to give her child (a student at my school) his allergy shots. I was told that we do not give injections other than insulin & glucagon to our diabetic students.
