Through their scope of practice all registered nurses can administer medication. Specific training is required before a nurse can administer some forms of medication including adrenaline autoinjectors.

It is a matter for individual schools to determine if a specific nurse is trained to administer adrenaline autoinjectors.  

Training for teachers is a matter for my colleague, the Minister for Education and Skills.
