When You Should Use PEP-RN On-Call

When you wish to speak with a nurse to help you make a sound decision about your health concerns and the type of care you should seek. The nurse can give you self-care instructions or refer you to Public Safety, the Student Health Center, Saint John's Health Center Malibu, a local physician, or the emergency room. PEP-RN on Call does not diagnose or provide treatment over the phone, and is in no way a substitute for seeing a physician. It is designed to help you decide what steps to take depending on the information you provide.
