Comments
Putting a Licensed Nurse in every school is a critical step toward improving the health and welfare of our students in the state of Virginia. Students and staff will greatly benefit from having a professional resourse to put our schools and children on the health seeking side of the wellness spectrum.
A licensed nurse will help reduce risks in the areas of safey and liability. Professional nurses are trained in assessment and decision making skills in medical situations. A simple lists of tasks that can not be delegated to nonlicensed personal will help greatly. If needed, you can refer to:
18VAC90-20-460. Nursing tasks that shall not be delegated.
Thank you
