Carren Teitelbaum, a school nurse in Ramapo, N.Y., once had a student stumble into her office with a 102 degree fever. Mrs. Teitelbaum called his mother, who said she\u2019d given her son Tylenol that had likely worn off and that she could come give him more.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat kind of thing is extremely frustrating,\u201d Mrs. Teitelbaum said. \u201cAnd it\u2019s not an isolated incident.\u201d<\/p>\n

Most parents are aware that fevers are a symptom of communicable viruses, and it\u2019s best to keep their children home when they have one<\/a>. But on short notice, many parents can\u2019t stay home from work, leaving school nurses to care for sick and contagious children.<\/p>\n

Sending feverish kids to school is just one miscalculation school nurses say parents make. <\/strong>The New York Times spoke with 14 school nurses across the United States who shared other common mistakes. \u201cSome of these things are common sense,\u201d said Mrs. Teitelbaum, \u201cbut I find that what makes sense for me may not make sense for somebody else.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
