Coumbus School Nurse’s Denial of Asthma Medication to 9year old

Written By: Talk of the Sound News

Update on the above report; Parent spoke to Health Administrator Dr. Weiss, who stated “I went to the school, to investigate and spoke to Principal Yigal Joseph and nurse Petrescu, and Yes, it was wrong that she did not check child’s peek flow, nor distribute nebulizer, as well as she failed to notify parent with information of such incident(s)” Parent replied, “What’s going to be done now?” Weiss replied, “We will do what ever we can so that this does not happen again.” Parent supports classroom teacher in that, when child needed to see the nurse, teacher allowed child to get to the nurse for treatment. It was the nurses professional responsibility and experience in the medical field to assess and make the proper medical decision, nurse failed child and this is not the first time. Parent feels child is unsafe at school, as well as other children under the deliberate lack of accountability delegated by principal Yigal Joseph,and Petrescu, who has not apologized yet to parent for incident(s).

  1. Columbus School Nurse denies Child Asthma Treatment
    Well, it seems parent went in to school office on 9/28/11, to ask Principal Yigal Joseph to apologize to child, Principal Joseph spoke to child and apologized, not only for the denial of Asthma Treatment by school nurse Liora Petrescu, but also for the incident in June 2011 where child was kicked in the back by school personnel “Anita” in an effort to “Say hi to him.” “Anita” has allegedly received a report on her record for “Inappropriate physical contact on a child.” This “Anita” person is still employed at the Columbus Elementary School, as well as the much child populated; Boys and Girls Club of New Rochelle on Seventh Street. What may happen in the future we will let you know.
