It is the job of school nurses to keep students safe at all costs, but it is not always easy. School nurses have been dealing with an ongoing issue regarding health care providers, as they can advise patients on matters that either go against what the school district allows for or clash with the Academy of Asthma, Allergy and Immunology guidelines. This issue is putting students’ lives at risk as it creates unnecessary mix-ups in the school and causes a delay in the reaction time of the nurses. An allergic reaction is an example of a potential emergency that can happen in a school that must be dealt with immediately. An author of a recent study states that school nurses should have “self confidence in preventing, recognizing, and treating food allergy reactions” (Wahl et al. 2015, 91). They should be trained enough to know how to handle any situation without breaking protocol.
