School nurses can often be our (FA families) best advocates ... but at the same time, they work at the school and that is sometimes going to be a factor.
My opinion is that there is no group in the 504 process that should be put on a pedestal & that includes food allergy parents (ex - we can go overboard asking for things that aren't necessary, we do not always approach things in the best way, etc.)
No doubt that there are so many nurses that deserve , but not all.

“How do we teach courage?” Krautscheid asks. “How do we teach backbone?”Quote“It’s easier just to go along and get along, and when you drill down on that through one-on-one interviews, what they tell you is, ‘I have to keep working with these people, and it seems to be part of the culture that this is OK,’” Krautscheid says.
