[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Are the health techs not qualified? I thought all schools had a health tech on duty and the nurses split their days among assigned schools. Are the nurses playing a supervision role to the health techs, similar to doctors and nurse practitioners? [/quote] +1. I'm not sure why an RN would be needed to do most of these tasks: "Nurses also support students who have chronic diseases to make sure that they remain healthy while they are at school. Nurses connect families with mental health services, verify immunization records, oversee hearing and vision screenings, and train other school staff members on how to respond in emergency situations. These services are critical to the wellbeing of our students." An RN assigned to a school, but not there full time, who trains a health tech seems like a very reasonable way to handle things.[/quote]
