School Care

I think that one of the most important things to recognize is that there is only one nurse for three different schools. Had the nurse been at school that day, the girl's asthma would not have been so bad because she would've received access to her inhaler earlier. I think that schools only recognize how important it is to have a nurse at school everyday when problems other than "playground scrapes" arise. Another way to improve care is for the teacher's to be aware of the students who have more serious illness so that they can be better prepared when an emergency occurs. In addition, the office should organize the medications, either via grade level, last name, etc. so that if there isn't a nurse around, someone in the office could effectively handle the situation.
