School nurses are frustrated when parents assume that nurses give out the names of children with head lice. We know that school nurses are doing their best to help identify lice, and they want to get rid of it in your school as much as you do. What is most frustrating and detrimental in a lice outbreak, is, if the family with lice does not tell anyone (keeping it a secret), including from the school nurse.
By not telling everyone that your child has lice, and clearly, he/she got it “somewhere”, you are putting all of your hard work and energy involved in treating your family at risk to be reinfested! Know that you got lice from “someone” and may have shared it with someone too! Don’t blame the school nurse..take on the responsibility and check your child’s head weekly!
