Case Scenario:

A well-qualified School nurse expert witness was retained on a case where the defending School nurse raised the alarm on a potential sexual abuse case and was being sued by the parents for conducting a visual examination under supervision to ascertain the reason for the child’s discomfort and inability to walk and sit.

Med League’s School nurse expert witness, who specializes in all aspect of a child’s medical needs at school, was retained to provide an independent review of the standards of care provided by the nursing staff.

School Nurses are registered nurses who conduct health & wellness activities to meet the needs of the school community.

School nurses accomplish this through health fairs, grant-based health initiatives, and community outreach programs. They may bring in a mobile dentist, refer families to food pantries, connect a student without health insurance to a clinic, and more.

School Nurses are caring & compassionate, possess immeasurable patience, are kind and good listeners. They are adept at deciphering the language used by kindergarteners, middle schoolers and adolescents to express their pain and/or discomfort.

School Nurses are responsible for the overall wellbeing of students, and they are trained to spot signs of abuse and/or neglect at school or at home.
