--- Quote ---The girl who hands you your prozac at your drug store has been trained.

Okay , to what level? Degreed?
--- Quote ---The guy who cuts the lawn has not.
--- End quote ---
Okay, We will accept this as an assumption.
--- Quote --- Further by the standards you listed a doctor would need to supervise any such temporary position. No such doctor is on staff at HLA.
--- End quote ---
No, I was citing an example of a requirement, we haven?t defined any requirements yet!
--- Quote ---Further you are ignoring the largest issue on the matter to date: If you burned yourself or broke your arm would you go see Debbie at the drug store or a doctor?
--- End quote ---
The issue is meds, the girl at the pharmacy would not help you either.
--- Quote ---Right now HLA has a receptionist playing school nurse handing out meds she knows nothing about and treating kids injuries and illnesses while untrained and unqualified.
--- End quote ---
How do we know she is not qualified to hand out the meds?
--- Quote ---Im still looking for you to tell me if you are okay with this scenario.
--- End quote ---
If she is qualified and meets the requirements then I am satisfied, yes.
--- Quote ---Also still wondering why if you are neither for or against HLA and have no real experience or knowledge of it why you are here?
--- End quote ---
The same reason everyone else is.

Oh and just so youre clear, you have no such truth to offer us. We already have the truth on HLA, its been pegged hence why HLA is feeling the effects of our work. If you on the other hand care to be educated please, let us know. "

I never offered truth. I suggested we all continue to strive towards it and yes I do care to be educated always, hopefully you havent stopped learning.
Deborah:
Debbie the drug store clerk is not in charge of "administering" drugs to 150+ people. She is not putting the correct doses of medication into cups and passing them out. She sticks the bottle into a bag and rings up the sale.
As you well know Who, unlicensed programs are not required to follow state regulations. HLA is exempt- claimed to be a boarding school, "therapeutic" just a marketing tool.
Who administered drugs as ASR? What type of employee would you have been comfortable with managing and administering drugs? I think they have about the same population.
SHH:
I dont want to comment about who is administering drugs at HLA or what is the regulation, because I dont know those things, however I did want to comment on something Deborah said. She said the receptionist, (or whoever), is doling out medicines for 150 students. That may be the number of students enrolled at HLA, but that in no way would represent the actual number of students taking prescription medicines of any type at the school. That would mean every student takes prescription drugs, and I doubt seriously the number is more than maybe 30 or 35 students that take medicines on a daily basis. Maybe someone who knows can give out the percentage of students who take medicines on a daily basis? And whether or not those drugs are for allergies, non-psychotic ailments, or for psychological conditions. But 150 would be a serious exxageration, in my opinion.
Deborah:
The demographics provided in the parent manual stated 50%, on psych drugs...75 or so. In addition, others take rx for sinus, diabetes, antibiotic, etc. My son took sinus meds frequently due to the excessive amount of cheese he consumed on restriction and became dependent on flonase.
Neither of us know the exact number of kids taking meds on any given day. What we do know is that someone has to know all those kids so they can positively ID them, what meds they are authorized to take, when they take them and what the dosage is. It's not a task to take lightly, whether 75 or 150 daily. That's a lot of kids and meds to be responsible for.
PS... Deborah said nothing of the sort. I do not know who is administering drugs.
