Medication Training
According to Wis. Stat. sec. 118.29, Wisconsin school personnel and volunteers must be trained and found competent before administering medications to students. The knowledge (webcasts) training and assessment testes are to be completed at least every four years, while the skills competency check-off should be completed annually. The last time the District did the full on-line knowledge training was the fall of 2015. Therefore, returning certified staff will only need to participate in a skills training offered by the school nurse; more information will be shared in the fall on skills training.
All new certified staff will need to complete the knowledge training. This training can be done through DPI: https://dpi.wi.gov/sspw/pupil-services/school-nurse/training/medication. This link will bring you to the DPI medication training website. Once at the website you will need to do the following:
Click on Medication Administration Principals (Basic, Oral, Ear, Eye and Topical).
- View module 1 basic medication principals and email your completed quiz to the nurse at your building.
- View module 2 oral medication and email your completed quiz to the nurse at your building.
