We had a school nurse when I was in HS (Baltimore County)- her name was appropriately Mrs. Paine. When I almost cut my thumb off with a linoleum knife in art class (I'm a klutz), her comment was "Don't drip blood on my clean floor". When I was working in the Pensacola school system in 1960, there were no school nurses. When I was teaching here in the 80s there were no school nurses. I don't think there are any now either. I don't know about ALL cities, but legal liability or not - most of the time medication is given by the school secretary or someone like that. Or it is not given. Fortunately, my kids were healthy. _______________________________________________ Liveaboard mailing list Liveaboard@liveaboardnow.org To adjust your membership settings over the web http://www.liveaboardnow.org/mailman/listinfo/liveaboard To subscribe send an email to liveaboard-j...@liveaboardnow.org To unsubscribe send an email to liveaboard-le...@liveaboardnow.org The archives are at http://www.liveaboardnow.org/pipermail/liveaboard/ To search the archives http://www.mail-archive.com/liveaboard@liveaboardnow.org The Mailman Users Guide can be found here http://www.gnu.org/software/mailman/mailman-member/index.html
