Nurses aren't trained to make that kind of judgement call. I think you all are overestimating nurses' abilities. I have worked with a lot of nurses. They have rudimentary medical training and then just kind of make things up as they go along. You should have heard the one who told me to stop drinking seltzer because the CO2 was bad for my bones. But I'm glad it makes you feel better to have a nurse at your child's school.

Seems like an odd deal breaker for an otherwise great school. Maybe ask the school how they deal with issues that might require a nurse - perhaps there's an athletic trainer to handle certain emergencies.
Ask about the time a kid fell off the roof.
