Note to School Nurse Trainers
Reference specific policies from your local school board for the school division. Use your school division medication forms, both the online and paper versions, (medication administration record, medication counting, and medication errors) when discussing documentation procedures. It is the School Nurse Trainer's responsibility to assess competency before issuing a certificate of completion of medication administration training to unlicensed assistive personnel (UAP). Consider creating a quiz to assess participants' competency following training. A hands-on demonstration may be appropriate for UAP that administer medications regularly.
