This training is facilitated by our District Registered Nurse regarding assistance with children taking their medication at school. It will also cover emergency medication for children, while at school.
Emergency Medicines can be given by non-licensed staff who volunteer to be trained. They can assist when the school nurse is out of the building.
Tennessee Code Annotated 49-5-415 allows for the assistance in self-administration of medication and they shall not be liable in any court of law for injury resulting from the reasonable and prudent assistance in the self-administration of such.
Also per the Tennessee Governmental Tort Liability Act (GTLA), each employee of the school system as an individual is immune from the tort liability unless it involves a criminal act by the individual employee. The standard for that normally means that an employee of the school system would have to have intent to harm in order to lose the immune status.
NOTE: EpiPen is included in this class.
