LibGuides: CNG Health Zone Unit: Protocols for Students/Staff feeling sick on Campus

VISITS TO THE NURSE’S OFFICE

Students feeling sick on campus

As the student comes to the Nurse’s Office to request care, unless it is an emergency, the student should present a pass to the nurse filled out and signed either by the school secretary or the teacher. At the beginning of a new school year, the form Health Zone Referral Pass will be handed out by the nurses to the school’s Assistant Secretaries, who will distribute them upon a teacher’s request.
Having in mind that students are missing valuable class time while they are at the Nurse’s Office, the nurse will try to limit their visit to a maximum of 20 minutes at a time, if symptoms subside return student to class

- At the time the school nurse telephonically reports the accident to the ARL/ Insurance Company, it is up to the injured staff member to decide if he/she will attend the ER room
- If the patient chooses to go to the ER, ARL/Insurance Company, the nurse will give the collaborator a list of hospitals/clinics for the patient to select where he/she desires to go to
