More Staff Gone?
Anonymous:
The staff listing on HLA's web site no longer lists Isis Ruff, Laura Inman, Betty Greene, Ed Clark, and Gerry Mattox to name a few.... And guess what? No nurse listed either!
happyday7:
Some of the names listed as staff are no longer there, for example Terrie Poiles listed as the Dispensary Communicator is no longer there. Joy Kidd has worked dispensing medications for a long time, and yet she is not listed as staff. If they had an RN on staff, you would think they would list it since that was part of the lawsuit saying that HLA did not have a registered nurse employed. I don't get it.

No one gets it...
Who is Joy Kidd? Is she a secretary or something?

Are they not required by ORS to have a full time nurse?
Deborah:
Are they officially under ORSs jurisdiction now?
While the regs state that the program must have sufficient numbers of qualified and trained staff in order to provide for the kids care and well being, there is no specific requirement for a nurse.
Any "properly trained" child care worker can administer meds. I guess they assume a person trained in CPR/First Aid is adequate for handling minor emergencies and assessing medical conditions which might require treatment.
I think this is an oversight given their location and student profile, as well as the participation in dangerous activities.
