I am not really sure I saw the school nurse much during my time at NJHS. I remember one time in the lunch line someone's nose was bleeding and instead of contacting the school nurse, a teacher came to help the student? I did not feel really safe at NJHS. There were a lot of threats at school and bullying was evident.

There have been a few minor fights and one consumption of alcohol or possession of mari...
