[quote=Anonymous]School nurse here, I feel as if I call parents relatively frequently. I use my judgment but usually if they have come in multiple times that day or are visibly ill. Most of the time I leave it up to the parent to decide what they feel conferrable with. As long as Its not with in exclusion policy (vomiting, fever, diarrhea, pink eye or injury needing medical attention). I would always call if the student complains of anything concerning like chest pain or difficulty breathing. I really don't give my students an option to go home unless they have something that excludes them from school. Usually they get the option to lay down for a few minutes and return to class. I think it truly depends on the campus and the nurse I am at a large elementary campus I currently have 5 medically fragile, over 100 life threatening food allergies and two type 1 diabetics on my campus. I see around 40 kids per day not including medication visits. Sometimes I just like that I know I had the parents stamp of approval and they are aware that their child is feeling unwell, or have something that I feel might warrant a follow up at home. [/quote]
