We've had a student death also

[kidzcare]

Not at my school, but one of the high schools in our district (Student was a junior). I don't know the details, but I know our nurses responded and performed CPR and used the AED. Student was intubated by EMS but did not make it. I do not know if the student had a preexisting condition.

My heart is so heavy for this family and everyone touched by this. I know our nurses are in agony. I cannot imagine the pain they are all feeling.

So extremely sad, prayers for all involved. I can't imagine.

Awwe. Kiz- My heart goes out to all of you. Wow. Many big hugs to you, your community and school. This verse has brought me comfort in hard times:

[h=1]Psalm 56:8New Living Translation (NLT)[/h] ⁸ You keep track of all my sorrows.

You have collected all my tears in your bottle.

You have recorded each one in your book.

So sad - what a tragedy for your community.

Hats off to those school nurses. I am an ER nurse and I could not handle working as a school nurse - I think it is a tough job and you are all alone - even though I deal with death and acute situations every day all I have to do is holler for help and I am surrounded by other competent nurses and docs...school nurses really go it alone and are very brave....my heart goes out to them and the family that lost this child.

So sad and so sorry for your district's loss and especially to that student's loved ones. I come to work every day with the possibility of performing CPR in the back of my mind and dread it so much because I know odds are not good even with the best quality CPR.

That is a heavy burden for all
