WP Schools Consider Training Nurses, Trainers to Administer Opionoid drug overdose treatment in case of drug-induced coma.

Hits: 45

The School Board is positive on the possibility of training nurses, coaches, trainers in the use of administering the Opioid antidote injection used by police to stop a student or person from having a drug type seizure.

The program administered by the state at no cost to the school district would train key school personnel in the use of the emergency injection credited by police with saving the lives of youths recently in a drug induced coma.

The presentation on the program was given by the District Nurse Practicioner, Brenda Madera.

The Board was all set to vote for the program when they had second thoughts and wanted to check with an attorney first to consider possible issues.
