[quote=Anonymous]I used to work in an after school program. I was only with kids for three hours a day a few times a week, but I'd say at least once a month we had an incident of some kind or another. The school nurse was on-site until 430. After that, we were on our own. Tons or asthma attacks, bad enough to need nebulizing and evaluations by the nurse. A few accidental peanut exposures and epipen uses (those always went to 911.) One broken bone. And a few bonking head on playground equipment falling off chairs, etc. Most of it was minor league stiff, band aids, comforting... But the stuff that wasn't... I was so glad there was someone there who was trained to assess and recommend treatment! But the asthma and epipen stuff. That wasn't minor. That's really serious. As the mother of an asthmatic child, I need to be able to trust my school can handle it. [/quote]
