NJSSNA has developed a letter for  its members to send to school physicians/medical directors regarding pending legislation that would require school nurses to delegate the administration of epinephrine to individuals with an undocumented history of anaphylaxis.  While NJSSNA understands the intent of the bill, it has serious concerns about its impact on nursing delegation and assessment.

NJSSNA encourages you to review the attached letter, download and sign it, and send it to your school physician.
