DeleteNaomi, you need to justify your reponse. Explain more.
DeleteI disagree with this position because other trained member of staff should also be trained in case of an incident happen in the institution and there is no trained nurse at the moment teacher can able to take on the task.
ReplyDeletePlease state your name.
DeleteI Samantha Grant agree that each institutions need to employ a trained nurse. Yes it is important that each teachers are to be trained but it is better to have nurses, imagine an incident happened which is a bigger deal which needs higher than basic firsta aid? The nurse would play a better role in handling the situation. First aid is said to be the first and immediate assistance given to any persons suffering from either minor or serious illness or injury however most first aiders handles minor injuries in reality therefore if a nurse is there for a serious injury which can happen the situation will be handled much better.
DeleteAre you saying that teachers/caregivers should not be responsible for rendering first aid in ECIs?
DeleteThey can and should have knowledge about first aid, every educator should. But sometimes its more than what teachers can handle so nurses are more capable of carying out the act.
DeleteKenneisha Cummings-I disagree.Since First Aid is the emergency care and treatment of a sick or injured person before professional medical services are obtained.Therefore you do not have to be a professional to administer First Aid.I think ECI staff should be trained in First Aid,because in most cases they will be the first responder therefore teachers and caregivers should know what to do.Even if theres a trained nusre employed by the Institution there might be case of multiple casualties so the more First Aiders there are there is a higher chance for saving life and for recovery.
ReplyDeleteVery good points Kenneisha.
DeleteYes Kenneisha, you have a very good point, but I am saying that though they all should be trained, including the janitor for that matter, but in some cases or situation the nurse should be available to attend to these situation allowing the teacher to continue with their class and thus to attend to the other students; just the same for the care giver.
DeleteMiss Nerissa being a trained first aid and having the knowledge of what to do is very important. What if its a life or death situation, should the trained teacher ignore that child and only attend to her classroom because its not her responsibility? Shantol Thomas
DeleteI agree but not entirely;
ReplyDelete1.) teachers are already overloaded with their days activity to take on added responsibility of acting the role of a school's nurse to take care of first aid matter.
2.) but in the case of an emergency situation it is good that a teacher as well as care givers should be knowledgeable of, and to administer first aid until a more professional medical assistant arrives.

DeleteI renee agree because what if their are more than one accident happens throughout the day.
DeleteI agree but not entirly beacuse i think every school should have a trained nurse and also believe that the teachers should be first aid trained has well in case of an emergency .
ReplyDeleteWhat if theirs a accident at the school and the nurse is not their and theirs not a trained teacher who is first aid train .that teacher might not be able to handle the situation properly because the teacher might not know the proper way to handle the situation .

That is why it is important for the institution to employ trained nurses to assist when these situations arise
DeleteDanique: I disagree, because being as a teacher or a caregiver you should have knowledge about first aid in order to assist with the children in case there is an emergency and the nurse is not present at the time.
ReplyDeleteYou have not responded to the statement properly.
DeleteDanique, while I agree with you as mentioned in my above comment, that both care givers and teachers should be knowledgeable about first aid and the administering of it in an emergency situation, I however believe that the responsibility of it should not entirely rest on them. But rather there should be a nurse present.
DeleteHow many nurses are employed at any one ECI compared to the number teachers employed?
DeleteIt should not entirly be the responsiblity of the teacher but i also belive that the teacher should be able to assit in case of an emergency or to fill the postion if the nurse is not their at the momment
DeleteNormally, there are only one nurse at an ECI institution, to about probably four teachers. Never-the-less, how many students may be injured at once. Its very rare that you would find several children injured at once. It does happen, but not often as you would have one or two child injured at same time. Therefore it is not necessary for the teacher to have to attend to a minor injury when a nurse is available.
DeleteNotwithstanding, let the record show, that I do agree that teachers, caregivers and even the janitors should be knowledgeable and qualified to offer "First Aid" in especially cases of emergency, but not entirely should it rest on them as a responsibility. when there is a school nurse present and cases are minor.
Kenneisha-My classmate who commented , It is so true ,you have no exceptions?
ReplyDeleteyes because if there is no trained nurse other member of staff other member of staff could take on the responsibility.
DeleteKenneisha-I agree with Denise's stance.
ReplyDeleteYou need to explain why you agree. Please look at the rubric
Deletedanique On the other hand i also agree with this statement because teachers are burden down with work load so having a nurse to take on the responsibility.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Danique statement because teachers have a lot of workload to do even sometimes the have different engagement to attend to.
ReplyDeleteI renee disagree because what if their are more than one accident the teacher can give a hand
DeleteKenneisha-Based on Danique's comment'I agree the work load is heavy but, remember our #1 priority is the safety of the children in our care.
ReplyDeleteDanique Yes kenniesha I agree at one point but remember there are other children that will be left unprotected while attending to that child so it is best to get a nurse at some point in time.
DeletePlease review your response.
DeleteTeacher should be trained in first aid even if there's a nurse present at the school the nurse can be assissting other child at the moment or not present at school so a teacher are caregiver can help with first aid
DeleteThis is so true because anything can happen and he or she can't go in
DeleteTo all those who have disagreed, while I agree with you as mentioned in my earlier comment, that both care givers and teachers should be knowledgeable about first aid and the administering of it in an emergency situation, I however believe that the responsibility of it should not entirely rest on them. But rather there should be a nurse present.
ReplyDeleteYou need to reply to 2 persons directly. This will not work.
DeleteGood night my fellow classmates and teacher. Base on the statement stated above, in some cases I disagree and agree.
DeleteFor an Early Institutions with a population of 150-200 and children, I agree for them to have atleast two to three nurses at that school, but yet still I'm not saying that teachers aren't to be trained. Yes they should what if there are one than one person have an injury or an accident at the institution, then those who are trained can give an helping hand.
Also if there are minor injuries then the teacher can help with that situation also. So I believe there should be nurses at an Early childhood institutions depending on the population of that school and also, every staff should be trained on how to use or demonstrate first aid kit.
Ahkila Reid. Sorry I didn't say my name.
DeleteFirst aid is the emergency care and treatment of a sick person before professional medical services are obtained. So if you do not have a trained nurse at the moment and there is an emergency, other staff members could take on the responsibility, because other member of staff should have a knowledge of what to do because if the trained nurse is not there would you leave that child until the trained nurse returned? No, that child would be there suffering from the illness. So then, that is how other members of staff would step in to help that child.
ReplyDeleteKenneisha-I agree with Denise that teachers have a heavy work load but that they also need to be able to administer Fisrt Aid if needed and the nurse is not available.
ReplyDeleteI disagree because based on the fact that first aid is the emergency care and treatment of a sick or injuries person before profess iona medical services are obtained. In this case you dont have to be a professional to carry out a first aid treatment, moreover all the staff within an early childhood institution should be trained in first aid because in most of the cases they will be the one who will have to handle the situation. A well trained nurse can be employed at the school but there can be more than one child who has being injured, so it's best to hAve staff trained so that they can know what to do.
ReplyDeletePlease state your name.
DeleteI strongly agree that all Early Childhood institution should employ a trained nurse to handle all matters relating to first aid . It Should not be the primary responsibility of the caregivers and the teachers to perform first aid treatment while caring for the other students and having other duties and responsibilities on their hands. Hence therefore teachers and caregivers can assist as it relates to giving first aid treatment to students. First aid treatment is required for immediate attention and so therefore there should be a nurse available to respond quickly to any case of emergency.
ReplyDeletePlease state your name for the record.
DeleteOk Natalee, I see your post.
Deleteyanique Brown ok I agree caregivers and teachers can assist nurse and employing nurse must be trained .
DeleteThe unknown is Nattalee forget to state my name. Nattalee:I strongly agree with danique that teachers have alot of work load on a day-day basis and so therefore it can cause a lot of stress and pressure on teachers and caregivers who have to administer first aid treatment and so having a nurse at each ECI can eliminate the work load and stress for teachers and caregivers
ReplyDeleteNattalee:Kenneisha I agree that first aid is the emergency care and treatment of a sick or injured person before proffessionalmedical services are obtained . Every take her within the ECI should be properly trained in administering first aid treatment hence therefore I strongly believe that every ECI should have a nurse assigned to administer these treatments as in reality most teachers and caregivers does not have adequate and proper training to administer first aid treatment. If a teacher or caregiver do not have the adequate and proper training in administering first aid care to students this could lead to more severe injuries and harm to these little toddlers .
ReplyDeleteNattalee the statement should be every teacher within the ECI
ReplyDeleteI agree that all teachers and caregivers must be trained in first aid and Early Childhood Institution should employ a trained nurse to handle matters relating to first aid .What is first aid? First aid is help given to a sick or an injured person until full medical treatment is available and this is why teacher and caregivers need to be trained in first aid accidents can happen at any time of the day that needs emergency assistance if there trained teachers and caregivers the assistance will be readily available on the other hand Early childhood Institution should employ trained nurses to help with these issues and not leaving on the teachers and the caregivers they have a lots of responsibilities to deal with on a daily basis and leaving this on them would be added stress on the caregivers and teachers incase of an emergency and the teacher is administering first aid assistance then their class something are felt an attendanted to which may cause another problem I think too much is expected of teachers and caregivers they can do so much and no more administer need to understand that teachers and caregivers educators and nurses and make proper arrangement to add trained nurses as apart of the members of staff
ReplyDeleteI renee Neufville strongly agree that care givers should be trained in first aid because as the term first aid is the emergency care and treatment of a sick or injuried person before professional medical services are obtained.However you don't have to have a professional to help. So therefore I think that all ECI staff members should be trained in first aid because in most cases they will have to be the first responders and at this point the teachers and caregivers should know what to do. Moreover if the Institution is employing a nurse the nurse can be there for multiple case, so the more first aiders are there the higher the chance is in the recovery.
ReplyDeleteI Yanique agree, I think all ECO should employ trained nurse to handle all matter relating to first aid because nurse could be more educated and more aware of first aid and what to do in a given situation or emergency, even though the teacher would also be educated about first aid by I think it's would be best for a nurse to handle the situation.
ReplyDeleteECI
Deleteyanique Brown yes agree ECI,nurse must be well trained to handle first aid situation.
DeleteI Ahkila Reid strongly believe that there should be a trained nurse at every early childhood institutions. I also believe that teachers and other staff should be trained on how to use or handle emergencies, and how to use a first aid kit. We should also bear in mind that students should be supervised at all times so, sometimes it can be very hard for them to attend to an emergency when they have other children to attend to and you don't want another emergency or accident.
ReplyDeleteYanique Brown. I agree to the statement employs and nurse must be trained relating to first aid and also teachers ,caregivers must be trained and play important role and responsibility in first aid.
