Now that I think of it--I did notice one of the main positive things the nurse had to say (about both of my kids, this year) was that since she'd never met them, it increased their credibility. Ha ha! I knew what she meant, but it does follow that a kid with health issues (mental or otherwise) might see the nurse more often than those without.
She did take time to explain to DS that if he had a panic event, he could come there and she showed him where he could sit (private) and reassured him this is a very common problem in the school.
She also explained to me that *any* absence related in *any* way to the diagnoses on the 504 is can be coded that way, which I didn't understand before.
