Procedures for Students Needing Medical Care

In the event of a serious accident or injury (one in which the student is physically unable to be moved) call Penn College Campus Police.
Information to be given to Campus Police or emergency personnel:
- The nature of the injury
- How the injury occurred
- The limitations of the injured person
- Directions for emergency personnel to locate injured person
- Consciousness, breathing, and pulse
Do NOT handle blood or clean up blood spillage. If it is necessary to help control bleeding, wear the latex gloves provided by the Intramural office. Call Penn College Police at (570) 321-5555; they will contact the appropriate personnel to deal with clean-up.
Work-study students will provide minimal care with supplies in the First Aid kit.
Work-study students will start an accident report on all injuries requiring medical aid. Student workers handling injuries should write down all information pertinent to the student and their injury.
All accident victims should be told to report to the nurse as soon as possible when they return to school. Follow-ups will need to be done and proper reports maintained.
In cases needing hospitalization, the supervisor should call the hospital with any pertinent health information found on the student's Health Card in the Nurse’s Office (drug allergies, known medical problems, home address, and phone number).
