Grant Purchases EpiPens For Middle And High School Clinics
October 22, 2012
The Escambia County Medical Society Foundation recently received a $2,000 grant from the Partnership for Public Health to purchase EpiPens for the Escambia County School District. The EpiPens will be distributed to middle and high school clinics.
In accordance with established guidelines, school nurses or paraprofessionals who have been trained by the school nurse may administer spare epinephrine auto injectors when provided to public schools by the medical community, according to the school district.

You got that right!!!!!!!!Anything they can do to save a buck and get by.
Ask one of these “paraprofessionals who have been trained by the school nurse” how comfortable they feel about administering this or any of the other duties that have been dumped on their plate. Most of them are secretaries or teacher aides that have been “trained”. It is not their specialty or line of profession. I hate to think of what it will take to happed to a student before the district/state realizes that full time nurses are needed at every school all day.
