( sometimes dispensed by unlicensed staf...)School Children Put To Risk Due To Shortage Of Nurses,Health

sometimes dispensed by unlicensed staff members in some schools as a result of a shortage of funds, or an absence of qualified nurses. This can lead to dangerous consequences. Most schools do not have the resources to hire qualified nurses. The federal funding that schools receive is linked to standardized test scores, which makes it all the more difficult for some schools to hire nurses.

There are as many as 7.4 million asthmatic school students in the country, while medication is taken in school everyday by over 3.5 million students. The Department of Health sources have revealed that 6,007 calls were made from Florida schools to 911 for health help in 2003-04 alone. Schools today serve as a social agency in addition to being an educational institution, and this is all the more reason for them to have better health-care professionals.
