I can't write here what I want to do to the school nurse and school administrator who stood behind the nurse's actions. Legally, she should be prosecuted for child endangerment, have her license revoked, and sent to prison. Even in the military we know when to throw aside the rules and do what's right despite the rules and accept the consequences of our actions later.

The nurse should lose her license. Any medical professional would immediately call 911.....that's Basic Life Support 101!
Last time I was CPR certified was in 1997 but if I see someone having a heart attack I'll call 911 and then begin CPR. If I see someone having such an attack like this kid had, I'd call 911 and do whatever it takes to try to get him air even if t means trying mouth to mouth. If it happens near my home, I'd try one of my father-in-law's portable oxygen bottles. I would do everything possible to try to save his life. I certainly wouldn't close and lock the door watching him pass out and possibly die.
I can't believe that the nurse didn't "accidently" leave the inhaler within his reach and then turn her back to him to call 911. That is what I would have done.
However, when I read/hear stories like this I often wonder if there isn't something "more to the story".
Well, the nurse was "appropriate" according to the protocol, that's what's important! come on, do you really want her to lose her job?
True, the Administrator was also following protocol.....searching lockers and students personal belongings and confiscating MDIs. Asthma medication isn't something I would take away from a student.

Even following appropriate protocol she should have called 911 for emergency response to a life threatening situation. Or she could have said to heck with protocol, I'm going to prevent someone from dying. If they fire her, the reason for the firing would look good on an application as nurse. "reason for leaving last place of employment: was fired for saving a student's life."

I'm being saracastic!
I think this nurse should go to #ell!
