School health care

There should be a school nurse working at every school instead of one being shared by three. But given the budget cuts, especially if this is in California, is it not uncommon to hear. Instead, maybe they can have an on-call nurse who they can contact if there is an emergency. And the school can also clearly label medications such as inhalers for each child and make the name and instructions very clear. If getting a nurse for each school is not an option, the school should get a nursing assistant or medical assistant, or any other health professional that would have more experience than an office assistant.
