When the nurse called for a student Thursday morning, Nikiyah’s teacher misunderstood and sent the wrong student, Troy said.

The error was compounded when the nurse didn’t check Nikiyah’s name before sticking her in the shoulder, the mother said.

“The school made a horrible mistake,” she added. “They never asked for her name. They have no paperwork….How do you make a mistake like this?”

After the mistake was discovered, officials summoned Troy to the school, she said.

Troy said the nurse – a Department of Health employee – tried to get her to sign a consent form, after the fact.

“I was insulted. I was really angry. ‘You just incriminated yourself even more,’” Troy recalled thinking.
