Yikes Cat, you need to move! Easier said than done I realize. I have a nursing degree and in 2018, I went to conferences to gain credits in order to become part time or fill-in school nurse. When the power point on student’s health confidentiality was discussed I was overcome with anger.
We were told that as a school nurse, you could counsel, encourage, and even arrange rides after school for girls to go to reproductive health clinics AKA abortion mills, but we could not discuss with parents unless the CHILD gave us permission!
Even back then, they were talking about kids who were ‘transgender’ that we had to fully embrace their newfound identities and again, parents were not informed unless the child agreed to it!
The nurses could keep ‘private’ notes on these children in a locked desk drawer. But we were warned that administration and teachers were not at liberty to see the notes because parents could be inadvertently told about their own children’s secret adventures while at school. This would be a big problem according to the Association of school nurses. Crazy!
I haven’t worked as a nurse since 2020. I bet you can guess why not.
