TY - JOUR PY - 1999// TI - A student emergency: helping school staff cope JO - Journal of school nursing A1 - Silver, R. SP - 28 EP - 31 VL - 15 IS - 2 N2 - A serious illness, injury, or other medical emergency in a student while in school can be upsetting to school staff not accustomed to such situations. A healthcare emergency in a special health needs child in one school district prompted a nurse and a building principal to develop a protocol which would enable school staff to effectively assist the nurse in the event of a student emergency. The plan involved training school personnel to assist the nurse and the administrator in tasks such as answering and monitoring telephones, serving as a runner, controlling unnecessary traffic into the nurse's office, and passing clean supplies to the nurse.
