Sunday, May 1, 2005: Maine: Nurse contests school firing:"Fired after taking a teenager to an off-campus clinic where she got a pregnancy test and a "morning after" birth-control pill, a veteran school nurse has gone to federal court to challenge her dismissal. Calling the firing at Fort Kent Community High School unfair, Lola Charette maintains she followed the law and protected a studentīs right to confidentiality."

Hmmm... have mixed feelings on this one. It is one thing to make a referral to a clinic. It is another one entirely to physically escort a patient to the clinic itself.

She overstepped her bounds just a tad here. I don't think she'll get her job back.
