Title: training being suggested for teachers
Post by: in hiding on January 25, 2012, 07:53:27 PM
I'm a semi-regular poster, just don't want this traced back to me. 

I work in a school district and the nurse sent out this training link to all staff. allergyready dot com  (Won't let me post a link as a guest) Haven't been through it yet but thought it may be helpful for some.  It is written for teachers/school personel. 

She did stress to everyone that allergies can be fatal, however, she then went on to list minor symptoms including swelling  :hiding:

I just read an article in our local newspaper (it's a weekly small-town paper) that all of our local school-district bus drivers have gone through training for epipens.  I was pleasantly surprised  :thumbsup:

Not to burst your bubble GP, but everyone from the teachers to the bus drivers get trained yearly in our district as well. DH has been at these trainings 8 times now. He's never witnessed one person pick up the trainers they have lined up on the table. I'm saving that bit of ammo for the next 504 meeting, if needed.  :disappointed:

Yes, well, we're a relatively small district.  It's a first for the bus drivers here, to have this training.  And I've done the training for the teachers.
