To the Parents(s) or Legal Guardian:
If your daughter or ward will be under the age of 18 while at the University of Wisconsin Oshkosh, it is American Legion Auxiliary Badger Girls State (ALABGS) policy to secure your consent for medication distribution and for the use of medical devices.
Medications are to be in the original container, the name of the medication, the dosage, the frequency of administration and the route of administration should be indicated on the label. The label should also have the name of the prescribing physician, the prescription number, date prescribed, possible adverse reaction, the specific conditions when contact should be made with the physician and other special instructions as needed.
Place any prescription drugs or medications in a zip lock bag identified with your name. Bring only the amount you'll need for the amount of days at ALABGS session.
All medications brought by a citizen who is under 18 years of age shall be kept in a locked unit and shall be administered by one of our Nursing staff. A citizen may carry bee sting medications, epipen, inhalers, an insulin syringe or other medication or device used in the event of life threatening situations. Any deviation from this will be up to the Head Nurse.
