I made some phone calls last yr to our local representative about the need for more education regarding food allergies. On tuesday, our school district allowed all the nurses to attend a pilot program about food allergies! Check it out:

[i]I wonder if better education, particularly among healthcare providers in schools, will lead to the same persons feeling their job is incomplete if not "full time"? And maybe some other thoughts regarding how they fit into the picture?[/i]
How wonderful! Interesting to note that the representative that they have listed as the contact person also happens to be an R.N. [img]http://uumor.pair.com/nutalle2/peanutallergy/smile.gif[/img]
