|  Vent School nurse is an idiot i got a phone call from my daughter (She is 18 next week) this morning telling me she was having an asthma attack at school. This happened once before in middle school (5 years ago) and so I talked to the nurse. She said Aubrey was talking fine and had enough air but needed her inhaler. (The nurse was given one the beginning of school but had none for her today  ) So I tell the nurse, I live a half hour away so please call 911 if she is in any trouble. She sounded like she was gasping for breath in between talking on the phone and I didn't like it. The nurse assures me she is really fine. She will call 911 if she needs to... I jump in my car with the inhaler and start speeding to school. I called my daughter twice to see how she was doing...I decide to call the office at school to tell them what is going on and ask for an administrator to go make sure my daughter is ok, and over see her care... the administrator calls me back ( I wish it was the principal but it wasn't) this guy says she is talking and joking and laughing so she is fine, just come with the inhaler. I was 10 min away at the time... I get there... Aubrey's hands are numb, and cramped in a claw like.. her face is numb, her eyes hurt, and she is having real trouble breathing. I say to the nurse...Call 911 now. I cant drive her like this... the nurse did not want to call and starts to explain why, and I say CALL 911 NOW! The ambulance comes, and they are asking how long she was in distress...It was a good 45 min. They are angry and shocked the school waited... I am so angry at them. The paramedics tell the nurse that just because you can talk doesn't mean you don't call 911... her heart was working over time, she was hyperventalating and it was pretty bad. Aubrey is fine now, but it is so scarey that she has this attack after 5 years with no trouble of asthma. Her inhaler is with her most times but she happened to switch pocketbooks and left it out. I find out later that she got hit in the chest with an elbow during a game and i triggered the attack. And the nurse sent her to her car to see if she had and inhaler!!! Then she decided Aubrey was ok and sent her BACK TO GYM!!! The gym teacher was so mad she walked my daughter back to the nurse!!!! Then the nurse had her call me!!!!!!!!!! Can you believe it??? Sorry so long...I;m just so angry with these people who are supposed to know what they are doing. I will meet with the principal and let him know what happened.  </IMG></IMG></IMG></IMG>

|  You have every right to be bad, damn mad. Dosen't anyone do anything right anymore. That nurse did not act even close to being professional. I certainly would write a letter to the board of education and make sure they know how much in distress your daughter was. That nurse needs to be reprimanded. I am really shocked that she did not responed fast and call 911 for precausion. Leaves one wondering what kind of hands our children are in during the day! I am so glad she is feeling better now. It must have been very frightening for her. |

| Heres your sign!! (to the nurse) Me and Uncle Guido are on our way!!!! We'll get names later.That's just absurd. I hope your daughter is ok. Why are you so far away from the school? That may not have come out right. It just seems that 1/2 hour away is far.

| Sounds like with your story, that nurse is going to get fired. That school can't take another chance of something like that happening again. It sounds like you could have a good case against them. Glad to hear your daughter is okay. My daughter is in highschool and fortunatley she doesn't have any health problems, but I would have be absolultley livid!!

| when my sister was in high school her school nurse gave her an asprin for a stomach ache and told her to go back to class. she insisted she needed more medical care and refused to let her call our mother. she walked out of the school then walked 8 blocks home. when our mom saw her she called an ambulance. ellie had her appendix removed immediately. idiot gave her an asprin to treat an appendix.
